Group Adult Ski Lessons (from 15 y.) for Experienced Skiers - Sestriere

After a couple of days skiing on my own whilst my son was in ski school I decided to book into ski school too - I have skied for a number of years and I was pretty nervous about joining a group but our teacher Valentina was absolutely incredible. Really great at giving good advice and tips on bad habits I have picked up over the years and also really friendly! I really enjoyed my time and will definitely sign up again!

I signed up for the group course hoping to find people of my level, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The group courses were divided into two groups: the first for beginners, skiing for the first time, and the second for intermediate skiers who were already able to ski on any slope but needed to improve. For me, since I skied on not-too-demanding red slopes but still with snowplow turns, there wasn't a level, so I was placed in the advanced group with people much more advanced than me (which, thanks to a great instructor who understood my difficulty, I was able to manage). Furthermore, I was the only Italian in the course (along with a 12-year-old girl). The instructor obviously translated, but it wasn't specified when I signed up that it would be mixed. Overall, the school wasn't understanding; when I explained the problems, she justified herself arrogantly, asking me to move to the training area during the beginners' course!!! In the end, I finished the course thanks to my excellent teacher, but as for the school's management, I wouldn't take a group course with them again. Another thing, the course consisted of 13 people.

Very friendly instructors and beautiful views! Tommy and Massimo were so patient and gave clear advice. We were in the beginner group on day 1 and were able to ski (cautiously) on red runs by day 5.
