Skiing with a local

Your slopes, your pace, the quietest lifts

I’m a licensed ski instructor at the highest level of certification, a former competitive athlete, and I have more than 20 years of experience. I know the Dolomites’ ski areas well, and I plan your day around the best snow and the quietest lifts.

You can book a day of guiding, lessons, or a mix of both. Just tell me your level and what you’d like.

Ways to ski with me

Guiding, lessons, or a mix

Every day is adapted to your level, the snow and the weather.

Ski Guiding

Explore one or more ski areas in a single day with a local who knows where to go, and when. The Dolomites have 12 ski areas, and they are connected, so we can cover a lot of ground every day. Many tours in the Dolomites are one-way circuits, so you ski almost every slope only once.

Lessons

Work on your technique with a licensed ski instructor, at your level. I offer full days. If you would like just an hour or two, I am happy to recommend great colleagues.

Heli Experience & Skiing

A flight by helicopter over the mountains, combined with ski runs on untouched powder slopes. I organize it for you with an experienced local partner, depending on the conditions and where it is permitted.

Guests say

“Our day with Juli was a dream. She navigated our large group across dozens of lifts and runs, skiing at a good pace, making sure we were aware of where we were going and keeping us all together the entire time. … We simply cannot recommend Juli enough for anyone looking for a magical ski tour or lesson in the Dolomites!”
