 Poster: A snowHead
|
Thinking of going to Cervinia in late March. My partner is happy to ski with me despite being relatively inexperienced (only second week, but loads of hours at Snowdome). I don't want her picking up my bad habits. What are private lessons like in resort? Can anyone recommend a school/instructor? What's the cost?
Your feedback would be helpful. Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Looks as though nobody can help. What about group lessons? Are they all day or mornings only? Again , has anybody had any experiences of the ski schools, good or bad? To be forewarned is to be forearmed, as Captain Mainwaring would say.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's very kind if you, but I assume that there may be some financial cost to me flowing from that generous offer

Our old friend mick newby was a great fan of Cervinia; someone named Micheal Newby has appeared over on Ski Club...
The advantage of bringing mick over would be that he's just the man to give our moderation skills some live fire exercise

Peter...sorry I have only just joined this group...
YES! I can recommend an instructor in Cervinia his name is Luca Napo and he is at the Breuil Ski school (there are 3 schools in the village) which is a little way up the back road facing the village nursery slopes and Cretaz drags. Alternatively they have an office at Plan Maison station too.
This guy was really very good indeed, a nice person, spot on with his instruction and drills and gave me a lot of confidence too. And his english was very good.
I had 3 x 1 hour private lessons 9.00-10.00 each morning because that was all I could get...it was over the New Year period. They cost 30 Euro/hour.
I was in Zermatt last week and had a couple of lessons there which were more than twice the price and less than half as good!
Hope this helps... I am sure your wife would be fine with this chap!

sarah, Thanks for that. I left it too late to get the hotel I wanted in Cervinia. Got an alternative in Courchevel 1650 - 3 Weeks to go!!

Although it was 15 years ago that I went (!), the main school there (red outfits) were excellent, very good private lessons in the afternoon. First learnt the expression 'Bend zee knees' there! Just checked with my girlfriend (Joanna: yes we're still together) our instructor's name was Bruno....
Have a good vacation,
adam and sam
