Hi everyone, my name is Jaco, I'm an Italian ski instructor with 5 years of experience.
I've been passionate about skiing since I was a child. I have a competitive career behind me and I like to convey my passion and knowledge for this sport. During my lessons, I try to help the student develop technical skills through sensations on their own body. We will therefore use videos and exercises to achieve greater control of the ski.
I'm waiting for you for a fantastic adventure between sport and fun in the heart of the Alps.

I grew up in Bergamo, Italy, and first discovered my love for snowboarding at the age of 14 while living in Telluride, Colorado.
Since then, the mountains have felt like home. Over the past three years, I've worked as a snowboard instructor across three continents—in Airolo in Switzerland, Perisher in Australia, and Livigno in Italy.
Each location has shaped my teaching style, giving me the chance to work with a diverse range of riders and snow conditions. Outside of the winter season, you’ll usually find me climbing, mountain biking, or out on a splitboard tour, always chasing the next adventure.
Alongside my snowboard instructing, I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering and am a qualified MTB Guide. My calm and patient approach helps clients feel at ease on the slopes, and I strive to make every lesson fun and rewarding. I teach in both English and Italian, and while I enjoy working with all skill levels, I have a real passion for helping expert riders refine their technique.
