Marco is a great motivator, he skied down and observed each of our techniques and provided top tips and analysed our abilities and shortcomings and gave specific feedback. He gave us confidence and exercises to try later on in our holiday.

We booked Marco for an afternoon as we had not had lessons in years and had picked up bad habits. He started with basics to assess our abilities and quickly moved us through a series of lessons in sequence, ending the lesson with us being able to confidently ski black runs under complete control. He was able to adapt the lesson to our abilities and to explain techniques clearly. Also, he was very friendly and gave us tips on the local area, helping us to make the most of our holiday. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Marco again.

A friend and myself booked Marco for 3x2 hour slots and he really was a fantastic teacher; he took us from doing blue runs poorly, to being able to get down black runs in such a short space of time. He helped us get rid of bad habits with drills that both made sense and pushed us to improve out technique. Could not recommend more!

We were a group of 4 and booked Marco for a 3hr lesson on our first morning on the slopes. We hadn't skied for a year and he was excellent with technical drills and skills and made us all feel so much more confident. He was an excellent guide, being a Sauze native, and we all had a lot of fun. Our only regret is not booking him for another lesson!

I had an excellent 1-2-1 lesson with Marco, he really helped me improve my confidence in turning/carving. He quickly assessed exactly what I was doing wrong and how to correct it. Overall I would highly recommend Marco and would book again if I come back to Vialattea.

Used Marco to teach my 2 daughters for 2 days. He pitched the level of teaching perfectly pushing them to improve whilst always remaining aware of their limitations. Very good and I would highly recommend

Marco was brilliant, I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He assessed our ability quickly, and took my friend and I from nervously taking on red pistes to being confident on blacks in a couple of hours. He used really effective teaching techniques, adapted quickly as we progressed, and made the lesson great fun too! As a Sauze local he was more than happy to pass on tips about the area, even after the lesson had finished. Our time with Marco was invaluable to a great week in Sauze.

Beginner

We were a group of 4, a complete beginner, someone who skied once 25 years ago, someone who has skied a few times but not for 5 years and someone who has skied several times but not for 4 years. From first point of contact with Marco through the Maison Sport app, he was very responsive and friendly. We hired Marco for the day and asked him to assess our ability and teach accordingly. He gave our new skier lots of confidence and by the end of the day he had her skiing all blues with confidence and even venturing onto some easy reds. Our skier who hadn't skied for 25 years also was happy on all blues and some easy reds by the end of the day, both of them were extremely nervous prior to the lesson. Our skier who has skied a few times was skiing all reds with total confidence by the end of her lesson and he only taught her for one hour, he even had her skiing backwards on the blues! I have skied 5 times previously but could never work out why i couldn't progress or what i am doing wrong, and although i do ski reds i never felt confident until my lesson with Marco, he explained everything so simply and clearly that my confidence grew massively and although i haven't got it quite right yet he made me understand exactly where i'm going wrong when it's not feeling right on the piste so i could correct it, i had so much more control after my lesson and felt a lot safer also! Marcos mother is English so there is literally no language barrier, i think he probably speaks better English than i do! On top of Marcos teaching ability, he's also such a nice guy to be around. I literally can't recommend Marco highly enough and whenever i can get back to Sauze i will definitely be booking more lessons with him for all of us. If you're an expert skier, there is definitely something you could get from Marco still, at weekends he teaches off piste and freestyle and once you see the photos in the bars of Marco skiing you will realise that any level of skier could benefit from a lesson with him. Don't bother looking around for another instructor, just book Marco, you will be so happy you did.

Marco taught my 2 children ages 3 & 5 and also my friends little boy aged 3. We didn't know what to expect as the kids were total beginners but he was very very attentive & patient on all 4 days. The kids are now all skiing snowplough. I couldn't recommend Marco enough!! If you are looking for someone & are unsure on who to book.. Book Marco! Thankyou again

Marco has been great! Exactly the instructor i was looking for. Positive attitude and well prepared. Thanks to his experience he easily corrected my mistakes and I feel like I learned a lot in only two hours! And bonus, he really loves his job and the place where he's living and working, you can notice it by all the enthusiasm and passion that he puts on it! I Really recommend him!

Where is the meeting point?

You can arrange the meeting point with your chosen instructor by using the Maison Sport messaging system. We recommend agreeing this before you book your lessons, but it can always be arranged at a later date. The instructor should be able to suggest somewhere that is convenient for you both.

What qualifications do the instructors have?

All instructors listed on Maison Sport have been verified by their nation's governing body, be it the French Government's Department of Sport, Swiss Ski Federation or The Italian Winter Sports Federation, so you can rest assured you will be in safe hands when you’re on the slopes.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Generally no more than 8 people, each instructor has their own policy for this, so it is best to just double check with them by sending a message. Most instructors won't charge extra if there is more than 1 person taking part in the lesson, but always best to check with them before booking.s

How do I book?

If you are on a desktop computer or laptop, you will see a box on the right hand side of the screen which contains various lesson options and pricing, simply select the lessons you would like and then click 'Book now', then follow the instructions to make payment.
