My snowboarding career began at the age of 10, in the small town of Cogne, where I learnt to appreciate and love this sport, thanks in part to my legendary grandfather Ernesto who gave me my first snowboard. In the years that followed, I decided to take on the world of competitions and this helped me to grow at competitive level and to go so far as to participate in European boardercross competitions. I soon became a team member of ASIVA (Winter Sports Association of Aosta Valley) and a member of the Italian National Skiing B Team. My career has rewarded me with some amazing thrills and sensations and has taught me what sacrifice, dedication and commitment mean. That is why I decided to become an Instructor and thereafter a federally-certified coach (Level 2) to share my passion and whatever I have learnt over the years with the athletes of tomorrow. . Speaks: My name is Giuseppe but my friends call me Pippo. I am a sportsman at heart. Skiing in winter, mountain biking in the summer, running in autumn. Teaching others to ski is for me a way of sharing my great passion for sport and the outdoors. I look forward to welcoming you to the spectacular Valley of Cogne! Speaks: President/Director of the Ski School. Sport has been a huge part of my life since I was a child, that’s why I decided to make a career out of it. I became a ski instructor and graduated in Sports Science. I grew up in the meadows of Sant’Orso and I do my best to share my passion with others! Speaks: I learnt to ski at this school. I improved my skills at Cogne’s Ski Club and I then travelled around, quite far even, but this is the best place to ski. My legs breathe freely in these woods and my heart skis along these slopes all year round! I’m ready to teach you how to do the same! Speaks: You can do amazing things with skis: you can slide; you can snow plough or wedge; you can parallel turn, on- and off-piste; you can go ski mountaineering. With just one ski you can make porridge (or ‘polenta’ up here in the north of Italy) or row across a lake. If you’re interested in any one of these fun activities, give me a shout. Speaks: I was born on 15 December 1983 and I have been cross-country skiing since I was 3. Speaks: I first saw snow when I started to walk and I haven’t been able to stop “melting” since. Just the sight of this wonderful frozen element fills my heart with joy and a yearning for fun! Speaks: Snowboarding Coordinator. Enzo Jorrioz: ski instructor in Pila, Italy, since 1975; moved to Cogne in 1983; a sports lover for as long as I can remember, especially snow sports. Passionate skier, but an even more passionate instructor. I love teaching children, because I think sport is a way of learning some of life’s most important lessons: you learn to play with others, you learn the most important basic rules for your own personal growth… but most of all, you have fun! Speaks: Whatever your objective, whatever your level, I will help you to improve your skiing in a friendly and relaxing environment. My aim is to make sure you complete each slope with a smile and that you’re ready to take on the next one for yet another fantastic experience. Speaks: Come and ski with an indisputably successful instructor: a 20-year old passion, competitions in 5 different countries, thousands of 5am wake-up calls, but most importantly, voted world’s best teacher in 2017 by a 5-year old during his first skiing lesson… what more could anyone want?! I’ll be waiting for you on the slopes for some adventurous and fun lessons! Speaks: After participating in Alpine Skiing competitions for many years, I decided to end my “career” by becoming a ski instructor. I am still in love with this sport and even though I study in Turin, I love skiing and being able to bring the young and old closer to this fantastic world. Speaks: My parents first put me on skis when I was 2 and I haven’t taken them off since! Skiing is a 360º distraction, a way of escaping the chaos of the city, a way of changing gear and getting to know the world from a different perspective. The greatest challenge for me is to have my skiers feel the thrilling sensations that only a pair of skis can evoke. Speaks: Excursions with friends and family or a form of physical training and exercise in the midst of a spectacular natural landscape. I am grateful to those who put me on cross-country skis when I was still a wee thing. I now wish to share the secrets and the beauty of this sport with you! Speaks: Cross-country skiing instructor, coach at Gran Paradiso Ski Club, fan of all winter sports. In the winter I spend my days and nights on the snow; in the summer I hike across the mountains. I’m looking forward to meeting you on the slopes, where we will have a fantastic time with the chamois and Alpine ibex of the Gran Paradiso National Park. Speaks: Hi, my name is Marco and I’m a ski instructor. What about you? In 2014, after years of Alpine and Freestyle Skiing Competitions, I became an instructor and not long afterwards, a federally-certified ski coach (Level 2). Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, no worries, we’ll have a ball together!
Speaks: Still today, I can remember the feeling of my first turns (not necessarily successful ones) and that feeling of being in control, after hours with my first instructors. If you like the mountains and find skiing fascinating, then why not give it a try?! It’s really worth it! Speaks: Accommodation in a five star hotel, the price is including VAT per person.

After being a member of the ski club for many years, I joined the Regional Committee and then signed up with the Army Sports Centre and the Draft National Team in 2001.
I’ve been an instructor since 2007. That same year, I started coaching the members of the Gran Paradiso Ski Club in Cogne.
I have always been passionate about cross-country skiing and I find it immensely satisfying to be able to teach others.
I look forward to seeing you out on the slopes, where we’re sure to have some amazing times together.
I have tried every type of equipment that exists to slide down our mountains, but it is with a snowboard that I am best able to express myself. I will do everything in my power to convey this passion to you too!
My motto is “Always happy to make you happy!” 
See you on the slopes!
