ENGLISH SKI LESSONS IN CORTINA. INDEPENDENT SKI INSTRUCTOR

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!

ADVANCED LEVEL

Do you already have experience, but want to perfect your technique? You can improve your carved turns, technique on moguls or off-track skiing.
FALL IN LOVE WITH SKIING

EXCLUSIVE LESSONS

Ski lessons are private, recommending no more than 4 students for a more personalized and exclusive teaching.
And with a lot of patience to teach and share the passion for this sport.

EQUIPMENT AND SKI PASSES? I CAN HELP YOU

I also help you with advice for the rental of ski equipment and the purchase of the pass to access the ski lifts.
IN FAMILY IS ALWAYS BETTER

LESSONS FOR FAMILY GROUPS

If you want to ski with your family but you have different levels, no problem!
We divide the lesson into parts to adapt it according to the needs of each student.

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.

Alejandro was incredible. We were a group of four with very little ski experience and Alejandro tailored his instruction to each of our needs. Within little time, we were doing well and are excited to continue building our skill with the incredible foundation Alejandro gave us in our three hours group lesson. Thank you!

Geweldige ervaring om door alejandro mee op pad genomen te worden en de schitterende pistes van Cortina te zien. En dan ook nog de vele technische tips en uitleg te krijgen om je ski techniek naar een hoger niveau te tillen. Erg betrokken en enthousiaste instructeur.

Tivemos nossa primeira aula de ski da vida com o Alejandro em Cortina d’Ampezzo. Adoramos a aula. Alejandro foi um ótimo professor, muito paciente e com muitas dicas e informações importantes sobre a técnica do ski. Em 4 horas de aula já estávamos descendo nossa primeira pista super felizes por termos conseguido praticar o ski melhor do que imaginávamos para a nossa primeira vez! Recomendamos muito a aula com o Alejandro.

Excellent instructor, very professional. He always displayed great competence and great human qualities. He is a very kind person who, with great patience, can share his knowledge with his trainees in a natural and funny way. My children and I took classes with him and we are now fascinated with skiing thanks to the passion he transmits. Highly recommendable!

Alejandro is a saint! He is kind, funny, courteous, respectful and professional. Not only did he significantly boost our ski skills, he made it fun! He is a master ski instructor, watching closely at all times to hone in what will help most improve your skiing. He always ensured we understood his clear instructions, offered continuous positive feedback, reinforcement and encouragement. Alejandro is super-organised. He was quick to respond to any questions, punctual, made sure we knew where to meet each day, and helped us plan each day ahead. Alejandro is fantastic!

Maestro Alejandro persona fantastica e professionale! Ci ha dato lezione giorno 5 gennaio seguendoci in modo attento. Consiglio di seguire le lezioni con lui così da poter salire sugli sci sin da subito anche se si è principianti.
