Group sessions for teenagers and adults

Ski and snowboard clinics in Sestriere

Three hours on one declared technical theme, in a group of 3 to 5 people who want to improve as much as you do. Fixed date, sign up in advance.

Why a clinic

For people who already ski or ride well and want to work on one precise technical theme, without having to turn up with a group of your own.

  • You know what you’ll work on

    Every clinic has a precise programme, declared before you sign up.

  • The group chose your theme too

    That’s where the intensity of the session comes from, and the pleasure of sharing it with people like you.

  • Small group

    From 3 to 5 people.

  • Video feedback included

    With analysis during the session.

  • It costs less than a private lesson

    For the same amount of time on snow.

The six themes

Each theme has its own discipline: pick yours, then pick a date on Bee Bee Board. The precise programme is declared before you sign up.

Before you sign up

The early-bird rate. It isn’t refundable, because the discount is tied to booking early. If you can’t come, you can move your booking to another date on the calendar and keep the rate. If we’re the ones who don’t confirm the clinic, you get a full refund. The refund minus the 10% charge applies instead to lessons booked at the full rate and cancelled within the terms.

Your level. If you’re not sure whether you’re intermediate or advanced, read the descriptions on the Ski and snowboard levels page.

Clinic or experience? A clinic works for three hours on one technical theme; the experiences are about discovering the area, over half a day or a full day.

Would you rather have an instructor all to yourself? There’s the private lesson, of an hour and a half or three hours.

All the prices for the season are in Prices; cancellations, minimum numbers and the other conditions are in the Terms and conditions.

Where the dates are. You’ll find the active dates, and book them, on Bee Bee Board: this site has no calendar. That’s where the FAQs below point too.

Frequently asked questions

The cancellation policy below applies to lessons at the full rate: the early-bird rate isn’t refunded, you move it to another date.

What are Experiences and Clinics?

Experiences and Clinics are fixed-date group lessons, open to anyone who signs up: you don’t need to arrive with a group of your own. Clinics focus on one specific technical theme and last 3 hours; Experiences are more about the experience itself and discovering the area, and last 4.5 hours or a full day. Check the calendar on the site for the dates that are open.

Where do we meet for the lesson? What is the meeting point?

The main meeting point is at the bottom of the Tappeto Jolly magic carpet, at the base of the Sestriere lifts. All group lessons — courses, Clinics and Experiences — start and finish there. For private lessons you can, on request and once our office confirms, meet your instructor at the Fraiteve gondola (opposite the Villaggio Olimpico), at Borgata or at Pragelato.

What is your cancellation policy for lessons?

You can cancel a lesson by getting in touch with our office. To be refunded for a private lesson, though, you need to cancel by 16.00 on the day before the lesson. Group lessons can be cancelled up to 72 hours before the course starts. Please note that once a course has started, especially a course over several days, you can’t ask for a refund for the lessons you miss.

If you cancel within the deadlines above, you will be refunded for the lesson you booked. Please note that 10% of the value of the cancelled lesson is retained, to cover admin costs and any bank charges. Outside those deadlines, no refund is given for the lessons booked. So do plan your lessons carefully.

Is a helmet compulsory?

Yes! Since Decreto Legge 96/2025 (Italian Decree-Law 96/2025) came into force, from the 2025/2026 winter season a helmet is compulsory for all skiers and snowboarders, adults and children alike, in every activity in a ski area.
