St Moritz stands as one of the most iconic ski resorts in the world — a symbol of alpine heritage and style. With over 150 km of slopes, high-altitude terrain, and a reputation for hosting world-class events, it offers exceptional conditions for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. As a ski instructor in St Moritz, you’ll be based in the heart of the Engadin valley, with access to nearby resorts like Corvatsch, Diavolezza, and Pontresina — perfect for exploring the wider region and connecting with fellow Snowminders.
The resort sits in Switzerland’s German-speaking canton of Graubünden and offers more than just great skiing. From cross-country skiing and snowshoeing to winter hikes and frozen lake activities, there’s no shortage of alpine experiences. The village itself is a unique blend of tradition and luxury, known for its stylish cafés, après-ski venues, and deep-rooted winter sports culture.
If you’re ready to spend a season as a ski instructor in this legendary destination, you can join our 3-week ski instructor course in St Moritz, run in partnership with The Red Legends – the local branch of the Schweizer Skischule. You’ll train, certify, and potentially start working — all within a tight-knit, professional ski school community. Spots are limited, so apply now and make St Moritz your winter base!
Snowminds works closely with The Red Legends, the local ski school in St Moritz and a proud member of the Schweizer Skischule. With connections to other Swiss ski schools across the country, there may also be opportunities to work in nearby resorts during the season if needed — offering flexibility and variety throughout your winter.
Depending on your skills, experience, and language level, you could be assigned to a range of roles: from teaching private lessons or leading adult groups, to working with older children or assisting in kids’ camps. The Red Legends team values professionalism, enthusiasm, and a strong work ethic. The Christmas / New Year weeks as well as February half term can be especially active, so be ready for a dynamic and fast-paced working environment that will challenge and reward you in equal measure!
