Private 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.

Lessons go ahead in bad weather too: snowfall, wind and fog are conditions to expect when you spend time in the mountains. A lesson is only cancelled and refunded if the lifts close.

Of course! For a group of friends or family (up to 5 people at the same level) you can book a 3-hour private lesson, built around you with one of our instructors: from your first turns to discovering the Vialattea ski area, through to freeride and days out in fresh snow, on touring skis or a splitboard. The length adapts to what you need, from 3 hours up to a full day, and it is built around the level of the group, from beginners to experts.

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.

No, the lift pass isn’t included in the price of the lesson: you buy it separately at the Via Lattea ticket offices.

No, the price of our private and group lessons doesn’t include any form of insurance. We strongly recommend that you check your own cover, or take out extra insurance, so you can enjoy your lessons on the snow safely.

Third-party liability insurance (RC) is compulsory by law when you ski or snowboard on the pistes. If you don’t have any, you can buy it together with your lift pass. This basic third-party cover also includes first aid if you have an accident.

Keep in mind that on-piste rescue is run by private operators and is charged separately. That is why third-party liability insurance matters: it covers those costs if you ever need them.

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.
