Matthew Grundy

Co founder

Growing up outdoors led me to ski instructing after travelling Asia post-degree. Moving to Zermatt shaped my passion for helping guests build confidence, improve skills, and enjoy everything this incredible mountain environment offers.

Your Questions, Answered

How do I start planning a trip with you?

The easiest way is our enquiry form on the website, or reach us directly by email at info@themountaincompany.ch or by WhatsApp and phone on +41 78 307 88 95. We will confirm availability and next steps within 24 hours or by the next working day.

What does your holiday planning service include?

Everything, so you do not have to think about a thing. We take care of custom itineraries, luxury hotels and chalets, experiences, activities and dining, travel and transfers, private guiding, professional rental equipment, tickets and logistics, and local support throughout your stay. From the first idea to your final day on the mountain, it is all handled.

Is there a minimum trip length or spend?

No. We are open to everything and plan trips of all sizes. Whether you are after a long luxury holiday or something shorter and simpler, we tailor it entirely to you.

How does your pricing work?

We work with complete transparency and add no markup to accommodation, lift tickets, or anything else we arrange, so you see everything at the actual cost. We charge a planning fee that covers sourcing options and building your tailored itinerary, and you receive an itemised proposal after a free consultation.

Can the planning fee be reduced?

Yes. The planning fee can be reduced when you also book a ski guide with us for four or more consecutive days. It is the best way to make the most of our service, as your guide also acts as your concierge throughout your stay.
