EXCELLENT Based on 138 reviews Adinah2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manuel was a fantastic off piste skiing guide! There wasn't much snow this season, yet Manuel managed to find hidden pockets of untouched snow with gorgeous views of the Alps. He was very patient with me and taught me how to use telemark skis with skins. Manuel even met me at the rental store to make sure I got the appropriate skis. I thoroughly enjoyed my day skiing with Manuel. It was relaxing and challenging at the same time. I hope to return and book more adventures with Ride and Smile.

Great service, with great instructors and guides, and a seamless experience as customer in all processes and contacts. Jiani Zhou2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been a great experience to learn how to ski from Manuel. Manuel provided spot-on instructions and is patient and positive. Highly recommended! Veronica Fernandez Corral2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We arrived in Davos with no previous experience in skiing and spent some hours over 2 days with Manuel. He is such a wonderful teacher. He was super encouraging and patient. From explaining us the basics to helping us getting independent in the slopes and making the whole experience very enjoyable. He explained everything very clear and was an amazing support. Thank you so much, Manuel! I would 100% recommend. We couldn’t be happier with having chosen Ride & Smile for some lessons. Fernanda was also very kind and made the booking process very easy. Alexandre Glaus2025-03-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vor 2 Wochen war ich mit 6 weiteren Freunden auf einer Ski Tour mit Manuel. Die Organisation bis zur Durchführung war top. Er hat uns trotz schlechten Schneeverhältnissen in die richtigen Ecken geführt, so dass wir doch noch tolle Tiefschneehänge hatten. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder mit Ride and Smile buchen. Luigi Soncin2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The classes with Massimo were amazing. He has been really patient, flexible and present. Loved. On my 3rd class I reach the basic turn. Loved. Highly recommend. Allan Capili2025-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A fantastic 4 days snowboarding with Massimo as our instructor, mountain guide and new friend for life! As a family of 4 from Boston (2 parents and 2 boys of 12 and 15) we decided to visit Switzerland and learn snowboarding for the first time. We came across Ride and Smile online as a highly rated school. We were partnered with Massimo, an instructor who was super excited to take on the challenge of instructing an entire family of mixed ages, different levels of stamina and ultimately varying levels of natural talent. He greeted us each day with a huge smile and a group hug. We started with the basics, adapting his teaching approach to each of us based on our individual needs. Some of the family advanced quicker, but he really wanted to bring us all along for the ride and was extremely patient. He kept encouraging the slower progressing amongst the group to keep trying, emphasizing that it takes time to master the basics and that once it clicks it will feel amazing. By the fourth day my eldest son was cruising down a red slope like a pro - he will undoubtedly be a snowboarder for life. What made this experience so special was Massimo and his teaching style. His energy was truly infectious - truly positive and welcoming. We made so many memories thanks to Massimo!! Patrik Melin2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We skied with Manuel. Great experience! Very good both for our children and us adults. Perfect day!

Die Route war gut gewählt und bot eine schöne Mischung aus Herausforderung und Genuss. Manuel kennt sich im Gebirge von Klosters/Davos/Arosa sehr gut aus und war sehr umgänglich und kommunikativ. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Martin Larrabure2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manuel took us to the best routes in the mountains. Amazing touring experience!
EXCELLENT Based on 109 reviews Passenger6161602025-03-24Verified Wonderful Experience: great skiing and fantastic views Ride and Smile is wonderful all around. From the time I expressed interest in booking until after I finished my day skiing when I received photos and videos from my adventure, they were very responsive and attentive. I was able to speak with my guide, Manuel, before booking to make sure my expectations would be met. I'm happy to report that the actual experience exceeded them. Manuel knew how to find the perfect areas for off piste skiing that matched my ability and also offered spectacular views. I hope to come back and book more days with Ride and Smile. TSB2002025-03-18Verified Great experience! Great service, with great instructors and guides, and a seamless experience as customer in all processes and contacts. Voyage495038870802025-03-12Verified If you want to learn how to ski - this is the company! We arrived in Davos with no previous experience in skiing and couldn’t be happier with having chosen Ride & Smile for some lessons. We reached out via WhatsApp and Fernanda was very kind and made the process very easy. We booked the lessons and spent some hours over 2 days with Manuel. He is such a wonderful teacher.

He was incredibly helpful and helped me perfectly in our personal lessons. The technique I learned is exactly what I was looking for. I can highly recommend it! Thank you for the great support! Andrew B2025-02-23Verified Really excellent! This is the second year in a row that we have used Ride and Smile and we had Manuel as our guide for two days this time around. He was excellent. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and he struck the right balance between having fun and tuition - he was always encouraging and the improvement in all of us over a short period was clearly evident. We couldn’t recommend him and Ride and Smile highly enough. J J2025-02-22Verified Thank you We spent some wonderful days skiing in Davos / Klosters. The Ride & Smile team was very helpful in organizing the ski lessons, and they accommodated all of my requests. Our instructor Lisa was super nice. She made the lessons fun for all age groups and skill levels, including the youngest member of the group who loves speed and bumpy rides. She also gave us lots of useful tips with things to do and where to ski. Thank you! Mobile126043236812025-02-19Verified Everything we hoped for and more! We signed up our two girls (ages 4 and 6) for classes over 4 days. Given their traumatic ski experience the year before, and the fact that they kept saying "I hate skiing, I don't wanna ski", we were seriously concerned whether they would make it even half-way the classes. Well we were so lucky to have Luna as our instructor! She had such a child-friendly approach, she connected with them and was so motivating and supportive! They loved it so much and kept saying they want to go on the big slopes and do races. We are sooo grateful for such an amazing experience! Francesca B2025-02-02Verified Excellent I had an amazing experience with Luna as my ski instructor in Davos! In just two hours, she helped me improve significantly, making me feel much more confident on the slopes. Her teaching style is clear, patient, and super encouraging. Luna is not only skilled but also incredibly kind and resourceful, always finding the right tips to help me progress quickly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their skiing while having a great time. Thank you, Luna! Igor2025-01-14Verified Ski lessons in Davos I booked 4 ski lessons. I must admit that at first I didn't think I would be able to go on the red and blue slopes, because I had never skied before.All my lessons were with teacher Simone, he was really nice to me, he managed to do exercises that suited my learning style, his positivity was really contagious and seeing that he was happy with my achievements made me want to learn more and more.On the last day of my lessons, I was already able to go on the red slopes with some ease. This whole experience made me enjoy skiing and I can't wait for the next time.I would like to thank the entire Ride and Smile team for everything. PEDRO B2025-01-09Verified Snowboard lessons I really enjoyed the snowbord in Davos lesson with Tiziano, I am 17 years old, that was my first time doing snowboard and after 3 lessons i was already doing the turns really good and also doing jump at the snow park
