Scuola Sci Cortina d'Ampezzo

The Scuola Sci di Cortina d’Ampezzo is one of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the Italian Alps: it was the first ski school in Italy recognized by FISI. Founded in the heart of the Ampezzo Dolomites, it has taught generations of skiers and snowboarders on Cortina’s most famous slopes, and its name stands for quality instruction.

The snowboard department relies on qualified snowboard instructors who are used to showing riders around the whole Cortina ski area. And the Dolomites around Cortina have a lot to offer: runs for every level, north-facing slopes where the snow is often excellent, and wide-open off-piste terrain for freeriders. The instructors know every corner of the mountain and where to find the best conditions, always with safety first.

Snowboard lessons go from courses for complete beginners to advanced guided freeride outings. The beginner courses are designed to get the basics down fast: balance, speed control, first turns, and how to fall without getting hurt. The staff is used to working with international guests and speaks several languages, in a resort that puts a lot into luxury and hospitality.

Cortina d’Ampezzo, the “pearl of the Dolomites,” hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics and co-hosted the Milano-Cortina 2026 Games with Milan. It has always stood for mountain elegance and top-level sport. Here you can learn or improve on a snowboard on certified runs, with a school that has always focused on quality. There’s also equipment rental, so you don’t have to bring your own board.
