The snowboard camp in Montgenevre focuses on an all-mountain technical progression, designed to elevate your riding across all core disciplines of snowboarding.
The coaching is structured around four main technical pillars:
The group will be led by two certified instructors holding the “Carte Pro” for teaching in France.
The instructors will split the group into 2 smaller groups based on the riding level.
Because our goal is to let you learn in a safe environment, progressing as much as possible and having loads of fun while shredding on your board!
We think that the processes of teaching and learning are never ending, so we focus on the biggest possible exchange with our students.
We will give you all the technical skills, mixed with the best safety advises, in the most clear and reliable way possible.
We want you to get so passionate about snowboarding and have so much fun while riding that you will want to change your entire life in order to practice it!
10:00: Meeting in front of the magic carpet to start the lessons.
On the first riding day the instructors will check the group riding level and split into two smaller groups.
1:00 PM: Lunch break (approx. 1 hr) on the slopes in a local restaurant/bar
5:00 PM: End of the lessons
6:00 PM: Video review and analysis
N.B: We will have one dinner together at a local restaurant in Montgenevre or in Italy and one evening apres-ski,
we will let you know the chosen evenings at your arrival.
Montgenevre is a quiet location directly connected with the famous “Vialattea” ski resort, offering amazing wide and playful slopes, surrounded by steep off-piste tracks.
The resort develops around the village, located right in the middle of it.
It is characterized by 2 different sectors, one facing North (Gondrans – 2450 m and l’Aigle – 2590 m) and the other one facing South (Serre-Thibaud – 2520 m and Chalvet – 2580 m).
The slopes are mixed, running half through larches or pines, and following the natural morphology of the site, making snowboarding and skiing smooth and pleasant, with slopes of all levels including some very “sporty” black ones and some very easy blue and green ones.
The group will be hosted at the BlueShutter Chalet, a superbly located town house in the heart of the village and only 50 metres from the slopes, ski schools and the shops.

La mia esperienza è stata super positiva. Ho provato lo snowboard diversi anni fa e ho deciso di mollare perché la paura mi bloccava. Quest'anno ho deciso di riprovare, portandomi dietro i soliti timori, ma Ettore è riuscito a farmi superare quello che era un ostacolo mentale e in sole due ore ho fatto grandissimi progressi: per la prima volta sono andata sicura sulle punte e non ho passato tutta la lezione frenando, come facevo prima. Tutto questo grazie alle sue spiegazioni chiare e alle strategie che mi ha insegnato, al suo approccio molto rassicurante che mi ha aiutata a superare quel blocco che da sola non riuscivo a gestire. Non è stata solo una lezione tecnica, ma un lavoro sulla fiducia in se stessi e sulle proprie capacità.
I had a fantastic time with The Riding Experience Ettore. His patience as an instructor and his professionalism stood out and really helped me to upskill and snowboard with more confidence. Most importantly , he offers an entirely experience and give amazing recommendations for places to eat and visit in the area. I would highly recommend taking lessons with Ettore !
Super séance pour Diana en leçon particulière avec Ettore. Elle a vraiment apprécié et a déjà hâte de ses prochaines sessions la saison prochaine . On recommande vivement The Riding Expérience . Tout y est : pédagogie, conseils, solutions, technicité . À très bientôt
Lezioni sempre al top!! Ettore è un maestro simpatico, gentile e molto disponibile, trasmette moltissima voglia di imparare.In pista, oltre ad essere preparatissimo, è paziente e professionale, le sue spiegazioni sono sempre chiare e i progressi si vedono da subito, sia nella tecnica che nella sicurezza con cui affronto le piste.Alla fine di ogni lezione mi trovo con un umore fantastico e una voglia di migliorare sempre di più.Se volete imparare o migliorare con lo snowboard, affidatevi a The Riding Experience.
In questa stagione 25/26 ho fatto un corso di gruppo di livello avanzato di 8 lezioni con The Riding Experience. É stato il regalo migliore che potessi farmi. Mi sono divertita tantissimo! Ma sopratutto ho migliorato moltissimo la tecnica grazie hai consigli precisi del maestro. Le lezioni erano varie e mai noiose, abbiamo spaziato tra pista, gibbing, park e fuori pista. Se dovessi fare altri corsi sicuramente tornerei da loro 🩵
We had an amazing off piste tour with Davide, totally recommand.
Ettore Stramignoni is a very kind, patient and professional teacher. I got a lot of success from him! I am extremely satisfied with his education and personality! When I was about to give up, he encouraged me to keep going and not to give up! 😊🏂
No hesitation with 5 stars. My 13 year old daughter had 3 x 2 hour snowboarding lessons over the course of the week with Ettore. She loved every minute and the progress has been amazing! She commented on his clear, easy to understand descriptions that led to tangible improvements immediately. She has already said if we come back next year she wants more lessons with Ettore to further her progress. Would totally recommend Ettore and The Riding Experience. Thank you!!!
Our instructor was fantastic, my daughter had a little wobble (6 years old) with it being a new person but she got over it and they had a great time. She is very proud of how well she has done would definitely recommend and will be.
Huge thanks to Ettore for two awesome snowboarding sessions! Great coaching, clear tips, and immediate progress. Highly recommend 🙌
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!
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
I really enjoyed my lessons with Ettore. He was great a teaching a total beginner and his clear and calm instructions were fantastic! Five stars.
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.
Ettore was absolutely fantastic as usual, full of technical knowledge and the element of Snowboarding is fun. My third time, and this time was a special as the previous two. Highly recommend.
Ettore was a skillful and patient teacher, I would recommend him and we may return for more teaching during our holiday
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!
Outstanding Snowboard Instructor! Ettore is an incredible snowboard instructor patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about the sport. They break down techniques clearly and adapt lessons to any skill level, making learning both fun and effective. If you’re looking to improve your snowboarding with a supportive and skilled teacher, I highly recommend him.
Would highly recommend Ettore! My 2-hour lesson was absolutely brilliant, I learnt SO much and had a really fun time too. An easy 5 stars from me. Thank you so much 😊
