Ski schools in Lombardy: the best spots to learn skiing

If you are looking for the ideal location to learn skiing in Lombardy, you have many options to choose from. On the border with Switzerland there is the region’s largest ski area, Livigno, with 115 km total of ski slopes. Not far away, there is another resort that is famous for skiing but also for its spas: it is Bormio, with some slopes located over 3,000 meters.

Valtellina is home to other renowned ski resorts such as Madesimo, Aprica and Santa Caterina Valfurva. On the border with Trentino-Alto Adige, you can ski at Ponte di Legno-Passo del Tonale or at Passo dello Stelvio, which, at 3,450 m, is the highest point to ski in Lombardy and allows you to practice this discipline even in summer.

For those who do not want to stray too far from the city, there are some places where you can go skiing near Milan. Piani di Bobbio (Lecco), Montecampione (Brescia), Foppolo and Monte Pora (both in the province of Bergamo) are all ski areas less than two hours’ drive from Milan.

Ski courses suitable for children

The right age to start skiing is around 4 or 5 years old. By that age, the child has already reached an adequate psycho-motor level to be able to put on boots and skis and start having fun in the snow.

Children can count on experienced and specialized instructors who make ski courses similar to a game. Indeed, the playful approach allows people to learn while having fun and to perceive sports as something joyful and spontaneous. In fact, the little ones will learn to ski without even realizing it, slowly getting hooked on a sport they will most likely never abandon.

Ski courses and lessons for every level of preparation

Of course, not only children can take part in ski courses in Lombardy. You’re never too old to learn how to ski, and ski schools in the region offer group or individual lessons for skiers of any level.

Whether you are a novice skier or an experienced skier who wants to get better and challenge themselves, you will find ski instructors ready to meet your every need and help you reach your goal. And if you want to try something other than skiing, you’ll find snowparks and ski mountaineering or freeride routes in Lombardy’s ski resorts to experience new thrills in the snow!

Skiing lessons with a private instructor: price information

Ski schools offer varying prices depending on the season, with rates usually higher in the weeks around Christmas and Carnival. For a week-long group ski course, with lessons of about 2 hours from Monday to Friday, the price ranges from 120 to 155€ per person.

Private lessons with a private ski instructor cost around 40€ per hour (again, prices vary slightly from period to period). Buying packages of several classes or booking in mini-groups with friends or relatives of the same level can save some money.
