Summary: We spent a week in Zermatt and had two different guides (Maya and Kotryna). They were both incredible! I would highly recommend getting a private ski guide for at least your first day on the mountain. They were both so knowledgeable and took us on so many different lifts and runs. My son wanted to ski off piste and our guide took him on a safe trail, leading him in and out and over safe jumps! On one of the days my husband had a bad back and the guide helped to carry his skis. They also helped us with restaurant recommendations and making a reservation. We are so thankful to have had both Maya and Kotryna, they definitely made our trip that much more enjoyable and stress free!
