Hi! My passion for skiing bloomed when I was put on skis at 3. From there 10 years of racing, some more exploring the mountains freeriding, my formation as a ski instructor in Italy, seasons working in the Alps, Australia and recently in Japan I've learned all the finesses that makes this sport so beautiful.

  • Excellent with all abilities
  • Great with beginners
  • Patient with improvers
  • Superb for intermediates
  • Brilliant local knowledge
What to expect in a lesson

With patience, passion and all the tricks that a good instructor knows, I'm looking forward to make you, or your little ones, enjoy the beauty and fun of sliding on snow in a safe way as we explore this beautiful resort that I know well thanks to 5 years of experience working here.

Matteo is incredible - highly skilled, kind and patient, but pushing you to achieve your best. He took me on the best run of my life and my first jumps! I learned so much and Matteo was also a delight to chat to over the morning, with a highly contagious sense of fun and adventure. I will definitely be booking him again!

Matteo was an amazing instructor, he took my 11 year old, from snow plough to parallel skiing in less than 4 hours!! He was very empathetic and created a fantastic environment for the lesson to take place in with his calming influence. Couldn't rate Matteo any better and would fully recommend him to any level of skier.

We (my wife and I) had a great half day lesson with Matteo. I am a complete beginner and he was very patient, understanding and a great person. My wife is more advanced and he was similarly able to provide her with some helpful tips. I would have been quite lost without his guidance and knowledge of the mountain. Could not recommend him more highly.

Matteo made our week away so easy! He looked after three children aged 8 for a week of morning lessons, and we could not have been happier! The improvement in their skiing was incredible. Matteo was patient, kept the kids engaged and knew when they needed a break. Matteo took everything in his stride - sun, snow storms, powder and all three children were over the moon to complete a black run by the end of the week! Thank you Matteo and we’ll definitely see you again!

Matteo is an absolutely fantastic instructor and I would thoroughly recommend booking lessons with him! Despite being complete beginners, we were comfortable and confidently skiing greens within four days. Not only was Matteo incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and patient - he even chucked in some pasta cooking tips!

We have just finished 2x days with Matteo in Tignes, I’m not really sure where to start? My 7 year old son could only snowplough; today, he skied black runs, moguls, jumps, off piste, the glacier and through the tree’s….oh and of course, now my son skies parallel perfectly, so proud! Matteo is really patient and makes the lessons soooo much fun, my little boy only wants to talk about Matteo! We always read reviews before we book, and like most people are a little nervous before we do….I can assure you, booking Matteo was a great decision. I also tagged along for one of the lessons, spending time with Matteo on the lifts was really nice, his knowledge of the ski area and runs are excellent, I have skied the area over 20 times and he still managed to show me new things!

Matteo was fantastic. He was patient and very good at building up my technique and confidence at the pace that was right for me. He kept giving me feedback which also really helped develop my skiing technique. He has an excellent knowledge of the slopes too which really helps! I would much recommend Matteo to anyone for any level of ability.

We had two lessons with Matteo of two hours each lesson. We couldn’t have chosen a better instructor. Our improvement was amazing. Matteo is an excellent teacher. He was friendly, knowledgeable, speakers excellent English and has a gift for explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. Nothing was too much trouble. Even though our lessons are now over he has texted us each evening to see how we are getting on. On top of all that we really enjoyed his company. We are two lower intermediate skiers who now ski at a much better level that we did before the lessons. I can highly recommend Matteo to anyone who is looking to improve their skiing in a fun and enjoyable environment. We are back here next year and will definitely be booking Matteo for more lessons as soon as we get back home. If you take lessons with Matteo you won’t regret it. Thank you Matteo. See you next year. Nick and Dave 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Matteo is very focused all the time and is great fun to ski with too. Very clear at explaining exactly what to do - you learn quickly with him. My 8 year old daughter also learned to ski with him - she gained a huge amount of confidence from him. I’ve skied with several guides and instructors and this guy has everything. He’s right up there. a+++

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.
