Private Ski Lessons in Verbier – Pricing
Work directly with a Brevet Federal ski instructor for a fully personalised ski experience in Verbier.
All instructors are fully qualified at the highest level, with a minimum of 10 years’ experience teaching in Verbier. This depth of local knowledge, technical understanding, and real-world coaching experience allows for a far more precise and effective approach to improving your skiing.
Whether you’re looking to refine your technique, build confidence, or explore more of the mountain, each day is shaped entirely around you, your level, your goals, and the conditions.
This is not a traditional ski school model. It is a more considered, personal approach, with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and long-term progress.
I work with a limited number of clients each week to maintain this standard, which is reflected in the pricing.

I’ve found my gem in the great Swiss mountains in Verbier. Most would say a restaurant, a particular bar or even the best chalet they stayed in...but not me...it’s my ski instructor, @Roddy Willis. His positive and friendly can-do attitude is matched perfectly for improving all levels of skier. My husband and I have both been using Roddy for 1:1 lessons for a few years now after trying various other instructors and have found him to be the best. He’s flexible around our children’s various ski club timings and knows exactly when to push my abilities on the slopes. I have experienced great progress and confidence in my skiing thanks to Roddy over the years and look forward to booking him next season 👍🏾read moreread lessSilka P.3/10/2020
- Where to begin. Roddy was the Verbier difference to our experience. I don't think we fully appreciated the need for a guide until Roddy stepped into the picture. Our experience was seamless and differentiated from previous ski trips; we cannot wait to go back. Roddy provides the perfect blend of professionalism and wit to make the day fly by and he chooses the perfect pitches to match your level of skiing and interests. Would recommend him to any and all; we had a brilliant time!read moreread lessCameron B.3/10/2020
- Roddy has completely transformed our skiing. We’re more confident, we’re in control and occasionally even look quite good! He’s coped with differing levels of ability and nervousness and improved us all, and some were pretty expert already. On ice, bumps, powder, everywhere we’ve made huge gains. Thank you! Sally, Gordon, Alex and Annaread moreread lessSally S.3/10/2022After years of lessons, my skiing hadn't improved and I was starting to become disillusioned. A friend who lives in Verbier recommended Roddy Willis, but if I'm honest I was a bit sceptical that anyone could help me. I can't recommend Roddy enough; he has a patient manner and is an excellent communicator. He was able to completely 'dismantle' my skiing before introducing new techniques each building on the last. He has taken my skiing to the next level, and I have to say, I have now found a new passion for skiing. Thank you Roddy, see you in March!read moreread lessWaseema L.3/10/2020

He was incredibly patient and explained everything clearly. His expertise really showed, and by the end I felt much more confident on my skis. Highly recommend - thanks Roddy!read moreread lessDanielle P.3/18/2026
- I have been fortunate to have Roddy as a guide & instructor for many years and I can safely say he is one of the best in Europe.read moreread lessMattias L.3/10/2023Roddy is hands down the best ski instructor I’ve had!! I see an improvement with every lesson - no doubt thanks to his way of explaining things, reassurance, and cool and calm approach! He’s a natural teacher. Skiing with him is always fun, and his encouragement has pushed me to do things I would have never had the confidence to do otherwise. Anyone who’s thinking about skiing in Verbier, needs a Roddy! Whether as an instructor or a guide, he’s your man!read moreread lessSaraRoberts272/25/2024
- I had a lesson with Roddy in early March 2019. I had not skied for 7 years and as such was a bit nervous. I need not have been. Roddy was amazing - friendly and a great teacher. Within only a few runs I was back to my usual confident (if poor) skiing and really enjoying being back on the scopes. Roddy then challenged me on harder runs and it was a great three hours, at the end of which the improvement in both my technique and enjoyment was immense. I will definitely return to Verbier for many things, but one of them is so I can have another lesson with Roddy.read moreread lessAlexander M.3/10/2019A real privilege to have skied with Roddy Willis in Verbier. It was fascinating and very impressive to see Roddy constantly assessing the snow to make sure we had perfect conditions on every run throughout the day. Not once was it too icy or slushy and he also managed to plan the route where there were no other skiers and we stopped to eat homemade local food. He has a huge knowledge of the mountains. A truly amazing experience, thank you.read moreread lessLucy R.4/09/2026
- Roddy's a Swiss Brevet Federal instructor, the highest level in Switzerland, without it you are restricted to where you are allowed to take your students. Wanna ski the most dangerous terrain safely? As a Brevet Federal instructor he has spent many years learning the mountain-craft and the law that surrounds off-piste skiing in Switzerland. Compare his prices, and it's a no-brainer!!!read moreread lesstoeknee c.3/10/2020I have just returned from a ski trip to Verbier, and our group of 7 Canadians hired Roddy Willis to guide us. What a wonderful experience being guided on this massive mountain. Roddy took us to some pristine slopes, while also making reservations at absolutely wonderful Swiss restaurants for lunch. Not only does Roddy lead with expertise, but he shared Switzerlands history, including such interesting topics as taxation, citizenship, and mountain customs. He is a very knowledgeable person, but don't be mistaken, his legs are like steel, and he will keep any group focused on skiing, leaving - where you are - to him. A definite must if you just want to just ski, and not be bothered with constantly checking your ski map. Verbier is a wonderful town, and Roddy made our vacation all the more relaxing. We all want to go back. A great Swiss ski town. Tim - Toronto, Canadaread moreread lessTim T.3/10/2020
- Roddie is an excellent ski guide for the Verbier Switzerland area. He is very knowledgeable about the four valleys area to obtain the best off piste experiences in a variety of conditions. He guided our group of 3 very experienced skiers for two days. I have skied for over 40 years and over the years hired guides at a range of legendary European and Rock Mountain resorts. Roddie is one of the best guides I’ve ever worked with.read moreread lessPeter T.3/09/2024
- Had a great time skiing with Roddy. He gave us some great feedback, adapted to different levels and chose appropriate slopes. Highlight was the training on fresh powder! Overall a very good instructor with experience and a great sense of humor. Thank you!read moreread lessDamini L.3/24/2026Not only is Roddy incredibly knowledgeable about Verbier and the best places to go at the appropriate time of day for the given conditions, he does a great job at weaving in skill development exercises as well. I will definitely ski with Rod again in the future if possible!read moreread lessMike A.3/10/2023
- I heard good things about Roddy, so I contacted him and book some one on one lesson the best money I have spent, his eye for detail is that of a great coach, he explains every step so you fully understand the mechanics, even when you get it wrong Roddy explains why , safety is paramount as to were you ski. I could go on but would say if your thinking off having coaching I would highly recommend Roddy . All the best Garyread moreread lessGary A.3/10/2020
