The Riding Experience

At The Riding Experience, we believe that the world of board sports deserves instructors who can bring clarity to their students, who can listen and understand their doubts and fears, and who can be as patient as needed while always giving the best technical advice possible. We offer exclusively snowboard lessons in Montgenèvre, with the goal not only to help you learn in a safe and fun environment but also to instill a true passion for this sport. Our instructors, Ettore and Davide, with more than 10 years of experience teaching snowboarding, will do everything to help you progress safely, listening to your doubts and fears, and supporting you at your own pace. Private and group lessons are available, as well as multi-hour lesson packages for a more in-depth learning experience, for adults and children from 3 years old. We speak Italian, English, and French, and professional photographer Daniele Benso is also available to capture your best moments on the slopes. We love what we do, and we measure our success by the passion we manage to inspire in you. WHY BOOK A LESSON WITH US? Because our goal is to allow everyone to learn in a safe environment, gaining the skills needed to feel in control as quickly as possible. We believe that teaching and learning never truly end, which is why we aim to create a deep connection with our students. We will teach you all the technical skills, together with the best safety advice, in the clearest and most transparent way possible. We don’t just want to teach you a new sport; we want you to become so passionate about it that you’ll want to change your whole life just to be able to practice it. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE LESSON? First, the instructor will check your snowboard equipment and ask you a few questions about your background (life and sports) to understand your abilities. During the lesson, the goal will be to understand your feelings about the learning process and let you progress at your own pace, always listening to your feedback. The instructor will adapt the teaching with a mix of technical tips, pedagogy, and fun (which is the real reason to snowboard, right?!). The instructor will also record several videos, which you will watch together during or at the end of the lesson. OK, BUT WHAT WILL I LEARN AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? It’s impossible to know exactly what you will learn or how long it will take. However, based on hundreds of students, we can estimate that a complete beginner will need 2 to 6 hours of private lessons to learn good basic turns on an easy blue run. The time doubles (or even more) in a group lesson.
