CONQUER THE MOUNTAIN
FIRST TIME SKIING?
The idea is that you don’t just stay with the baptism class at the base, but that we can ski down the mountain on the second or third day!
My main virtue when teaching is patience. My ski classes are always with a lot of dedication and professionalism, for all levels and ages!
ELEVATE IT!

ARE YOU READY TO HAVE FUN?
My greatest virtue when teaching skiing is patience, I always explain the entire technique very calmly, adapting to the abilities and learning times of each student. My goal is to convey the passion I feel for skiing, always in a fun and safe way.
About me
MY NAME IS ALEJANDRO
I am an independent ski instructor in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
I started skiing when I was 4 years old, this sport became a passion and I could never stop. As a teenager I had fun doing slalom and giant slalom competitions, and when I turned 18 I started with the ski instructor course.
I have 24 winter seasons teaching this sport professionally since I have been doing two ski seasons each year since 2007, in the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to Italy, I worked in many ski schools in different countries: Vail (United States), Yong Pyong (South Korea), Pas de la Casa (Andorra), Park City (United States) and Bariloche (Argentina).
I studied mechanical engineering at UTN but my passion for skiing and teaching led me to choose this beautiful profession.
ANECDOTES THAT I HAD OVER THESE YEARS AS A SKI INSTRUCTOR
• Once, working in a ski school in South Korea, I had to teach some Chinese who didn’t speak a word of English to ski. The ski class turned into a say it with mimic… in spite of everything the 5 students learned to stop and turn after 2 hours of lesson!
• I once had a very lovely Brazilian family who came to ski with the young 2-year-old Enzo. But to my surprise, in addition to the grandparents, the 78-year-old great-grandmother also wanted to learn! Without a doubt an extremely rewarding experience.
where to stay
I always recommend to stay at the Mirage Hotel.
With its stunning mountain views, quiet location, and proximity to the town center, it’s the perfect place to relax after a long day on the slopes. They also offer babysitting service if you are travelling with kids.
