Scuola Sci Cortina d'Ampezzo

The Scuola Sci di Cortina d’Ampezzo is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in the entire Italian alpine landscape. Founded decades ago in the heart of the Ampezzo Dolomites, this school has accompanied generations of skiers and snowboarders along Cortina’s iconic slopes, becoming a symbol of excellence in snow sports instruction.

The school’s snowboard department draws on FISI- and AMSI-certified instructors, specialised in introducing riders to the Ampezzo ski area. The Dolomites around Cortina offer an extraordinary stage: slopes for every level, north-facing aspects with often superb snow conditions, and vast off-piste terrain that is a paradise for freeride enthusiasts. The school’s instructors know every corner of the mountain and are able to guide students towards the best conditions while ensuring absolute safety throughout.

Snowboard lessons range from absolute beginner introductions to advanced guided freeride itineraries. Foundation courses are structured to help newcomers quickly acquire the essential skills: balance, speed control, first turns, and safe falling technique. The staff is experienced in working with international clients, delivering a multilingual service within a context of luxury and genuine hospitality.

Cortina d’Ampezzo — the pearl of the Dolomites, host of the 1956 Winter Olympics and co-host of Milano-Cortina 2026 — has always been synonymous with mountain elegance and sporting excellence. Coming to Cortina to learn or improve your snowboarding means immersing yourself in a unique atmosphere, on world-class pistes, with the support of a school that has made quality its defining trademark. The equipment rental service means you can join lessons without needing to bring your own board.
