Val d’Isere is a huge ski area with fantastic snow, if there is one ski resort that has guaranteed snow, it is this resort. Throughout the winter, the temperatures rarely go above zero, ensuring you’ll have brilliant snow conditions whatever time of the winter you visit.

A part of the Espace Killy ski area, there are around 300km of prepared pistes, allowing for plenty of options for beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers. For those skiers who prefer the freedom of skiing powder, there are plenty of off-piste opportunities too.

We’ve been skiing for years, but this was definitely the best teacher we’ve ever had for the kids. Amazing experience and strongly recommend! The kids loved it and were already talking about next year 😉

Carlota M.

My instructor Daniele was fantastic. He was a very experience Italian skier who spoke excellent English. He asked me where I’d skied before and for how long, and made sure to find out exactly what I wanted to improve. He understood that I was a nervous skier and gave really good tips on how to improve my technique. By the end of my lesson I was parallel skiing down blue slopes with ease.

Georgia S.

Amazing experience with Mauro! Thanks for boosting our confidence in difficult slopes!

Lorenzo was a super instructor with our 6 year child. Very kind, very professional annd very funny. All days he was coming back from the class with a big smile. Made all the difference. And teached our boy to ski for the fist time perfectly. Definitely to repeat. See you next year!

Miguel B.

I would totally recommend getting lessons with Supreme, no matter what your ability levels are. My instructor was able to pick up on the small things that I didn’t notice, which actually lead to me making huge improvements. Thank you Supreme!

Georgia S.

Very nice instructors that motivate the kids to improve their ski skills. For sure the school to hire in Val D’Isere.

Joined Supreme in: 2023

I grew up in Anzola d’Ossola, and started skiing at the young age of three in the Simplon Pass. With a decade of experience under my belt, I have had the privilege of working in some of the most renowned ski resorts around the world, including San Domenico di Varzo in Italy, Val d’Isère in France, and The Remarkables in New Zealand. Besides skiing, my interests include travel, fishing, and climbing, which keep my spirit of adventure alive throughout the year. I am a certified ski instructor, holding various qualifications that demonstrate my commitment to excellence in this field. My strengths lie in my enthusiasm, patience, and supportive nature, which are particularly beneficial when working with beginners. Although I teach skiers of all levels, my true speciality is in helping beginners find their footing and develop a love for skiing. Being fluent in both English and Italian allows me to connect with a diverse range of students.

I am a passionate ski instructor with 17 years of experience, teaching both beginners and experts, and especially skilled in working with advanced skiers.

I grew up in Varallo Sesia, a charming town in Piedmont, and started skiing at 4 years old in Alagna Valsesia. Over the years, I've worked in renowned locations such as Breuil-Cervinia during the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 seasons. I hold several qualifications, which have helped me develop my teaching approach. Aside from skiing, I enjoy cycling, hiking, and cooking in my free time. My love for the mountains extends beyond the slopes and into every aspect of my life.

In a ski lesson with me, you can expect a calm and patient approach, with an emphasis on detailed feedback. I pride myself on being great with kids, but my speciality is working with experts, helping them refine their technique and take their skiing to the next level. My teaching style is all about building confidence on the slopes and making sure each student leaves with a sense of accomplishment. What I love most about teaching skiing is watching my students grow, mastering new skills, and enjoying the stunning mountain environment as much as I do.

Passionate ski instructor from Italy who loves helping skiers grow in confidence while having fun on the slopes. Calm, supportive, and great with experts.

I grew up in the beautiful town of Folgaria in Italy, where I started skiing at the age of four. Since then, skiing has always been a big part of my life. Watching people build confidence, overcome fears, and smile as they learn new skills is incredibly rewarding to me. When I’m not on the slopes, I love climbing, cycling, and practising yoga.

I teach skiing in English, Italian, and Spanish, and while I work with both beginners and advanced skiers, I have a particular strength in helping expert skiers refine their technique. My teaching style is calm, supportive, and fun. I believe in creating a relaxed learning environment where people feel safe to push their limits.

In my lessons, you can expect a calm and structured approach, tailored to your individual goals and confidence level. I focus on building a strong foundation, while making sure the experience stays enjoyable and engaging. Whether you're looking to master the basics or take your advanced technique to the next level, I aim to provide insightful feedback and encouragement at every turn. My priority is helping you enjoy the journey while growing your skills step by step.

I teach in both English and Italian, and my qualifications, combined with my love for skiing, allow me to cater to a diverse range of skiers.

Outside of skiing, my hobbies include video games, reading, and mountain touring, all of which fuel my adventurous spirit. In addition to my experience on the slopes, I focus heavily on tailoring lessons to each individual's learning style. I find great satisfaction in discovering new ways to communicate and teach, adapting my approach depending on each client’s needs. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, I am committed to ensuring that your lesson is fun, engaging, and tailored to help you develop confidence and technique on the mountain.
