Beginner? Don’t buy the wrong skipass

You don’t need the full Vialattea daily for the first days: here’s the strategy I recommend for those starting from zero or almost.

  1. 01

    Total beginners: JOLLY CARPET — we only use carpets.

  2. 02

    Beginners: INVITO ALLO SCI — you go up by chairlift.

  3. 03

    From intermediate level: full Vialattea skipass, the whole resort is yours.

“I want to share my very positive experience with Andrea. In just three days of lessons, both my friends and I, despite never having been on a snowboard, managed to learn to turn and even descend a red run. He is a very professional instructor, able to convey confidence and self-belief, helping you improve quickly. I highly recommend him!”

Group private lesson

“Super positive experience! We bought the package for two people, Andrea is a great snowboard instructor, empathetic, friendly and above all patient, he pays a lot of attention to each individual person. He was very clear in his explanations and gave us different instructions based on our needs, to improve our riding. It wasn’t just hours of lessons, but above all fun, and starting from zero we didn’t expect to reach the results we achieved! Thanks for the fantastic experience!”

federica s.

Multi-hour package

“I completed my first snowboard lesson last weekend starting from absolute zero. Andrea was exceptional: he clarified all the fundamentals in a simple and effective way, and by the end I could already do the basic movements and turn with confidence. Super positive experience both technically and humanly. I felt comfortable and motivated. Absolutely recommended for beginners!”
