Monterosa Ski Schools & Guiding

All Monterosa ski villages have good ski and snowboard schools with English speaking instructors. Group and private lessons are available in both skiing and boarding. Some schools offer telemark skiing and most offer guiding services.

Group ski lessons in Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna take place in the mornings, and though courses normally last for 5 consecutive days, fewer days may be booked if required.

Monterosa ski school lessons start on a Monday and last between 2 and 3 hours per day, depending on the resort and level of skier. Booking lessons in advance is recommended for all resorts, especially at peak or quiet times of the season.

Private lessons cost from €30 for an hour’s lesson for one person. Prices vary according to how many people take part in the lesson, time of day and season.

For advice, lessons or a day of guiding in the area with an expert local ski and board instructor contact Giorgio Bisotti Email: giorgio@echotravel.co.uk who offers a day of guiding for €295 per group.
