Architect and Designer as a school education, sports educated with athletics to which I have dedicated myself from an early age at the Arena in Milan, I have successfully practiced this fantastic sport in the specialty of 400 meters with times of absolute importance, crowning my career with the achievement of the diploma of coach and athletic trainer. With this preparation, the transition to alpine skiing was easy and quick, allowing me to arrive athletically and mentally prepared for the ski competitions and to obtain the first successes.

Athlete of excellent level in the Giant Slalom, Downhill and Super-G specialties, I have achieved my dream of becoming Ski Instructor and then a Coach. Over the years I have completed my professional training in the mountains with the non-competitive practice of ski mountaineering and ice climbing during the winter and climbing and mountaineering during the summer.

Always passionate about curves on "powder" you will find me attending both the classic ski slopes and roaming with customers, and sometimes friends, in the valleys and couloirs of the Sella Group, the Marmolada and the Cortina area following amazing lines of descent into the immaculate snow. I recently obtained the specialization diploma for Freeride Ski Instructors and AMIBIKE MTB guide/instructor that allow me to cover almost 360 ° winter and summer sports. For some years I have been practicing my profession in Val Gardena but I have no problems moving to other Italian, Swiss, French and Austrian locations in the Alps.

I collaborate with some sections of the CAI during the Freeride and Off-piste courses and as a support during the ski mountaineering outings as an instructor. I try to pass on all my experience to those who want to approach this magnificent sport with passion and enthusiasm. My courses are aimed both at those approaching this sport for the first time and at those who want to reach the highest technical-competitive level on skis.

Being a trainer and trainer also in athletics, I can successfully integrate summer and winter dry preparation. This is why I propose myself as a "Sport-Instructor" to my customers and, I hope soon, to you too.

  • Excellent with all abilities
  • Superb for intermediates
  • Fantastic with experts
  • Off piste expert
  • Brilliant local knowledge
What to expect in a lesson

Fun, professionalism, innovation, interactivity, the ability to propose new correction methods, professional video shooting with drones. For lessons with more people consider 5 euros more per person per hour.

Marco is very friendly, we started the day a bit frustrated as we walked a long way to our meeting point, our hotel told us it is a five minutes walk, but it was a uphill walk and we all got overheated, as a first time visitor it might be easier if we meet at the hotel and walk together or meet at the nearest lift. But it was a fantastic day and we are happy with the ski touring. Thanks to Marco for making it an easy day for us and completed the Sella Ronda.

I had two lessons with Marco and they were brilliant. With a background in Architecture and Engineering he was able to explain the problems with my skiing very clearly so that I could see in a practical way what needed to change. Changing bad habits is easier said than done but because what I needed to do was clear I could (at least sometimes) do what was needed and when I did everything felt better and safer, not only for me but also for everyone else on the slope. Marco was very particular about the places we went to ensure that we had the best slopes and snow conditions for learning including, on the second day, starting early so that we could get to an area further away but where the runs and snow conditions were particularly good. In addition Marco took and shared with me a lot of pictures and videos to help with the explanations and it really helped not just to be told but also to see what I was actually doing as opposed to what I thought I was doing. By the end of the second lesson I was completely exhausted but happy that I had made real progress. On top of all that Marco was also really interesting about the history and geography of the area and of Italy more generally addimg another layer to the experience. The lessons with him were, in every way, an enhancement to the trip

Marco was a great ski guide. He met me at my hotel, which was ski-in, ski-out. He knew the terrain and took me around the area telling me the history and mountain peak names. The snow was not great so we had to stay on-piste, but he made the skiing varied and fun. Being a mountain guide in the summer too, he knows a great deal about the area. He also gave me some skiing tips to focus on. He was always concerned about safety and making sure I was enjoying my ski time. We had a lot of similar interests, which made for fun conversations.

My wife and I had 9 hours of lessons across 3 days; I can’t say how good the tuition was and how beneficial it has been for both of us. We are at different stages in our learning but Marco was able to tailor the tuition to help us both. Marco is super knowledgeable, speaks excellent English and adapts his training when he can see you are struggling. All together fantastic and will definitely book again. Money very well spent and in addition to tuition he gives great local tips and advice to make the best of your holiday. Thank you Marco from Bonnie and I.

Marco was excellent with our 6 and 8 year old daughters. He was punctual, friendly and provided some great ski tuition. The girls’ confidence improved dramatically during the week as did their technique. Nothing was too much trouble and Marco was very accommodating with different meeting places on different days.

Marco was a great teacher. He took time to understand what I wanted to get out of the lesson and he explained everything in great detail and even gave me tips to work on after the lesson had finished. Marco is by far the best teacher I’ve ever had and would recommend him to anyone no matter your level of skiing.

Marco ha fatto lezione ai nostri bambini di 10 anni, ed e' stato apprezzatissimo da loro e da noi genitori. Simpatico, puntualissimo, molto tranquillo e amichevole con i bambini. Dopo solo una lezione i bambini hanno sciato con più sicurezza e sono migliorati visibilmente!!

FAQs
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?

Any instructor that has a blue ‘verified’ tick icon on their profile has had their qualifications vetted and verified by the Maison Sport team, the level of qualification required to have a verified account on Maison Sport varies slightly by country. As follows: France – all verified instructors must carry a ‘Carte Professionelle’ licence, the qualification requirements for this licence are very high. The licence is administered by the French Government (to attain a Carte Professionelle most instructors will have studied for an average of 5 years+ to attain the correct level of qualification). Aside from requiring the instructor to have the highest level of qualification, which includes numerous teaching and technical performance diplomas in skiing or snowboarding, European mountain safety courses and the Euro speed test, the instructors are also required to have a criminal record check and a first aid certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Spain – all verified instructors must carry a minimum level of qualification which must be at the ISIA card level or above. Instructors working independently must provide documentation to show they meet the local regulatory requirements to do so and instructors that are working for a ski school must provide details of the school they work for.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Unless otherwise agreed with the instructor no more than 6 people can take part in a lesson, each instructor will have 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.
