Originally from Lombardy, Italy, Valentino is a snowboard instructor in Val Thorens. Passionate about snow sports, he likes to transmit this passion to his clients.
I was born in a small village in Lombardy near the mountains and ski resorts.
I started to slide on skis at the age of three and at six I started to compete.
At the age of 16, I tried snowboarding for the first time and it was a real revelation! Since that day, I have dedicated all my winters to this wonderful sport that provides extraordinary sensations in the heart of grandiose natural mountain landscapes.
I practice and enjoy all the different disciplines of snowboarding: carving, freestyle, and of course, off-piste. Being able to ride on fresh snow with a snowboard on your feet is one of the best things I've ever tried. It's a very similar feeling to surfing on the ocean waves, except that it's in the middle of nature in the mountains.
In Val Thorens, I love teaching on the slopes as well as off-piste, where the sensations of skiing are the most intense.
Teaching sports and sharing my experiences and passions with people is what I like to do and what makes me happy for 15 years now. I am also a sailing and windsurfing instructor in Lake Como and in Sardinia.
I like to share my experience so that people can have a lot of fun on the water. I have a good contact with people, I try to put them in confidence as much as possible. The most important thing for me is to give people pleasure, to make them enjoy the sliding and the atmosphere of the mountain as soon as possible.
I can give snowboarding lessons to all levels, children or adults, in French, English, Spanish, Dutch and in my native language, Italian.
I am waiting for you to make your mountain vacations unforgettable!
