The person behind Riviera & Ridge
One qualified person. A rare combination.
A staatlich geprüfte Erzieherin (state-certified early-childhood educator) with ski-instructor competence and a deep yoga practice. Professional training matters. So does raising four children of your own — the steadiness that comes from both shows in how children settle, often within minutes.
Children notice atmosphere before adults do. Some need movement before they can sit still. Others find their words only after a stretch of quiet. Continuity is underrated — especially while travelling.

Families who have worked with us
Trusted across borders — remembered for the details.
Saskia has shown an intuitive understanding of our daughter's individual needs from the very start. When it came to skiing, she helped Lotta not push away her fear but accept it and work through it — something that requires real experience and empathy. Our daughter has visibly grown in independence and emotional balance during her time with Saskia. This combination of expertise, versatility, and genuine warmth is rare and invaluable.
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience with Saskia in Zermatt. As rather hesitant skiers, we were nervous about the vast terrain, but Saskia's calm and pedagogical approach changed everything. She guided us all the way to Italy and back, making us feel completely safe and confident every step of the way. She has a unique gift for taking away fear and making skiing enjoyable even for those who struggle.
Saskia was a pleasure to work with for my 10-year-old. She gently pushed him out of his comfort zone, building his confidence while keeping him engaged — so much so that he often went from wanting just a few runs to skiing the entire day with her. As a mother herself, Saskia brings warmth, attentiveness, and intuition that made me feel completely confident my son was safe and well cared for.

Every engagement begins with a conversation.
The qualifying conversation lets us understand your family — and lets you understand who you are entrusting your children to. It is unhurried, confidential, and without obligation.
Before working together, we take time to see whether the fit feels right — for both sides. When you write, call, or book — you reach the person who leads the engagement. Where needed, a small circle of hand-picked, qualified professionals supports the work in the same spirit.
