What to expect

Enhance your skiing ability by joining our kids ski lessons in the beautiful surroundings of Cortina D'Ampezzo. Nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, this resort boasts great slopes for all levels and offers stunning views that make the experience truly memorable. With over 120 kilometres of pistes, Cortina D'Ampezzo provides a fantastic setting for young skiers to refine their skills.

Our lessons are designed for kids aged 6-13 with previous skiing experience, ensuring they build on their existing knowledge. The children are divided into small groups based on their ability, allowing for tailored instruction and increased safety. Beginners will focus on speed control, reliable stopping, and turning using wedge techniques on gentle slopes. These fundamental skills are crucial for a confident skiing foundation. Intermediate skiers will transition to parallel skiing, hone their turning and edging, and tackle blue runs with growing assurance. For advanced participants, the focus shifts to mastering carving, navigating moguls, and refining techniques for precision on steeper terrains.

All of our instructors are certified professionals dedicated to making lessons both safe and enjoyable. They bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to each session, ensuring that every child has a rewarding experience on the slopes. These lessons are ideal for kids who wish to advance their skiing skills while enjoying the breathtaking landscape of Cortina D'Ampezzo.

Group formation

• On the first day the instructor assesses each participant's level.

• Groups are formed by age if there are enough participants.

• Participants must have a similar level to join a private lesson together.

• Even if they have a similar level, we do not recommend that adults and children aged 4 to 15 join a private lesson together. because the teaching approach is different and adults have different levels of awareness, which affect the homogeneity of the group.

• Based on the instructor’s assessment, it is possible to move to another level during the course if a participant progresses quickly.
