“Brilliant Skiing Lessons in Avoriaz”

This is the second year running, I've used supreme ski for lessons and our instructor Nejc (pronounced Nate) was superb. Our lessons were for two hours a day and Nejc kept my lively nephews, aged 9, 12 and 13 entertained and focused.

We booked a group ski lesson for our first day in Avoriaz. There were 5 of us in a mixed ability group, young and old, and Alberto managed this perfectly. He was very patient, professional and experienced. His English was good and he was great fun. We would highly recommend Supreme Ski for the smooth service and good communication, and of course Alberto.

Jenny P

I booked the Sunday - Friday group lesson for my 5 year old in the swifts group. We put a huge importance on English speaking instructor and other children in the group and skiing for a decent amount of time (not 9.30-11.30 like some other ski schools), supreme didn’t disappoint.

A friend and I hired Rachel for two private lessons at Avoriaz. Rachel (British born) was warm and friendly and an excellent instructor. We had reached a point of being competent but lazy skiers. She gave us excellent technical tuition.

Rebecca S

We had two 2 hour lessons with fabulous Fillipo we were 6 in our group at all different levels and he was great. He mentioned to enjoy as we were on holiday and not to over think (that was me with the fear of any speed) he was super friendly and patient with the older members of our group. I'd recommend the company and especially Fillipo.

Mel M

We had lessons with Filippo and they were excellent. The boys throughly enjoyed themselves and Filippo engaged really well with the boys and myself. We all had such fun in our lessons.

I'm Alessandro Trapani, Ski, Windsurf, Kitesurf instructor and last but not least Engineer. I grew up in Bergamo, a city in the north of Italy. I started skiing when I was 5 years old thanks to my parents who have a strong passion for it. Luckily Bergamo it's surrounded by three valleys and we have many little ski resorts just 1h away from the town, where I skied for almost all my childhood. I joined a ski club in my town quite late when I was 10y old, I competed till 15, then I stopped doing it intensely in order to focus on my education. I have been teaching skiing since 2015 and watersports from 2016. My favourite piste is Streif in Kitzbühel, where one of the most exciting downhill competitions of the world championships takes place. Tip: Transition from snow plough to parallel , try to lift up the uphill tail of the ski and move it closer to downhill one. The best part of skiing is simply enjoying it with friends and family whether you are on a red, blue or off-piste.

I had the luck of being born and raised in a tiny mountain village in the Alps surrounding Lake Como. Thanks to my family I have started skiing very early at 3 years old. At 7 years I’ve joined the Italian SkiClub, getting into some minor competitions. I’ve stayed for approx. 10 year when my desire was to become a ski instructor and in 2017 I’ve completed the course with AMSI. In 2017 I started working as a ski instructor in the nearby ski resort Piani Di Bobbio (LC). It is a small ski area with mostly easy slopes and so it’s the perfect place for beginners. As a teacher, I had the opportunity to gain experience for myself on how to teach from the very basics to intermediate levels. My first international experience was in France in the same year, at the Les Deux Alpes ski resort. Here I was part of the instructors’ team for the European Ski School whose customers where typically from US or UK, and for the following 3 winters I have normally worked there for 2 months during high season. This huge international ski-area is frequented by skiers of every level: my customers ranged from 2 to 4 years old kids till people perfectly able to nail a black slope
