I had 2 x 3 hours sessions with Ettore whilst in montgenevre in the French alps. I had expert tuition and felt I progressed more than any lessons I'd had previously to booking him. Highly recommended 👌. Nice one Ettore

CINQUE STELLE MERITATISSIME! Se sono riusciti a sopportare me…significa che sono veramente BRAVI! 😂 Fin dalla prenotazione Ettore è stato gentilissimo, disponibilissimo ed esaustivo nelle spiegazioni. In pista poi… Davide: simpatia e pazienza infinita, capacita’ incredibile di mettermi a mio agio e di spiegare ogni passaggio con parole semplici e chiare. Sempre presente e attento alla sicurezza e pronto a sostenermi in ogni momento. Due veri professionisti ma anche persone che sanno trasmettere fiducia e serenità! Se volete imparare, migliorare o smettere di avere paura come me 😅, siete nelle mani giuste!!!🏂💜

I had two lessons with Davide and it was fantastic for me. My main problem is fear, and with his kindness and helpfulness, he helped me overcome mental obstacles. I also find him to be very knowledgeable. He helped me understand the technical aspects of what to do, which also made me feel more confident. He pushed me a little beyond my comfort zone, but always with extreme kindness and calmness. Highly recommended.

Ho avuto il piacere di fare lezione con Ettore e l’esperienza è stata davvero eccezionale. Fin dal primo momento si è dimostrato estremamente professionale, attento e capace di individuare subito gli errori tecnici su cui dovevo lavorare. Con spiegazioni chiare e mirate mi ha aiutato a capire esattamente cosa stavo sbagliando e, soprattutto, come migliorare in modo concreto sulla tavola. Grazie al suo approccio preciso e incoraggiante ho acquisito molta più consapevolezza nei movimenti e mi sento già più sicuro nello snowboard. Non vedo l’ora di prenotare altre lezioni per continuare a progredire e divertirmi ancora di più. Consiglio vivamente a chiunque voglia migliorare davvero di prenotare una lezione con The Riding Experience: professionalità, competenza e passione autentica per lo snowboard. Un’esperienza che vale assolutamente la pena vivere! 🏂

Esperienza super positiva con il maestro Davide. È stato molto paziente, chiaro nelle spiegazioni e sempre capace di trasmettere sicurezza, anche nei momenti in cui ero in difficoltà. In poche ore mi ha fatto migliorare davvero tanto, portandomi passo dopo passo fuori dalla mia zona di comfort senza mai farmi sentire sotto pressione. Consigliatissimo a chi vuole imparare bene e divertirsi sulla neve. Super soddisfatto, continuerò il percorso di crescita sicuramente con loro!

Ettore is a top man and even greater Snowboard instructor. Book through The Riding Experience and you’ll not be disappointed. Ettore took me from being a complete beginner to intermediate snowboarder within 6 days. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

My brother and I had a few private lessons with Ettore and we could not have asked for a better instructor. We are now comfortable going down the slopes on our own and this is all thanks to Ettore. He kept the lessons fun, informative, interesting and we had a good laugh together too! Could not recommend enough.

Ettore is the absolute best! His skills go beyond the snow and water. He played an instrumental part in purchasing my first board making sure it’s the right length, type, and price for me. Coaching me through the important stuff! I can’t thank him enough! Thanks Ettore and I’ll be seeing you again soon for my lessons!! 🙏🏽 If you book with him you won’t be disappointed! 10 out of 10 I recommend!

The lessons were great. It has been only my 2nd time snowboarding, but after the lessons with Ettore I feel much more confident on the slopes.
