What it's like working at

What it's like training in

Verbier

You will work and train with Adrenaline Ski School Verbier. Adrenaline, one of the longest running ski schools in the area, is owned and operated by experienced locals.

When you join EA on an instructor internship in Verbier, you will receive a job offer to work in Adrenaline Ski School as well as a full Four Valleys Season staff ski pass. All interns who complete their Level One exam and can ski to an acceptable standard will receive an instructor job offer. Once you begin work, work levels can vary depending on seasonal demand - it's generally busier during the holiday periods (e.g Christmas, New Year and February school holidays) with January and March being much quieter. You will be expected to shadow lessons during quieter periods of no work is available for you. Due to the quieter work periods, it's important that you have financial support during these periods or you can find a second job to supplement your income.

Approximate pay rates for ski instructing in your first year are 18 Swiss Francs per hour. However, as with any ski school, there is no guarantee of hours over the season as it can vary with snow and ski lesson demand. It’s not a cheap town, but once you are settled in and know where the local hangouts are you will be able to find the best deals, and an instructor uniform can help.

Accommodation

EA trainees have access to shared chalet style accommodation through Verbier Connect, a local, English speaking provider. EA covers rent until the end of the level 1 exam and trainees are responsible for payments from there onwards, this is organised prior to the start of the season directly with Verbier Connect.

The shared chalets are well located and provide the comforts of home. Cost is approximately 1000CHF per month for the remainder of the season, which is on par for central Verbier. Rates and locations may vary from time to time, and if they do we will endeavour to let you know at the earliest opportunity.  

Included in your accommodation:

  • Ski and snowboard storage
  • Kitchen and bathroom facilities
  • Communal living and dining area
  • Shared rooming
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Close to bus stop, shops, restaurants and bars
*The above is an indicative based on last season and is subject to change based on availability and updates to pricing
