Monterosa Ski Resort ski schools & guiding

Monterosa / Ski schools & guiding

As with much of Italy, there’s a strong sense of ski school as something only for toddlers. For private lessons, either alone or with a group of friends, you should be able to find an instructor with good English but it’s best to make enquiries in advance.

A number of UK groups regularly use the Monterosa for off piste tuition at several levels, including an introductory week.

Regular trips include the Monte Rosa heli-tour, other heliskiing, off piste guiding and ski touring. Relevant equipment, including harnesses for glacier itineraries, can be provided and several ski shops hire skis with skins and touring bindings – ideal for off piste days that might involve an hour or two uphill.
