Mattia is an incredibly passionate skier with a huge love for the mountains. Originally from Italy and with a background founded in racing, Mattia’s love of skiing has led him across the globe. He has taught and toured in countries such as New Zealand, Japan, Switzerland and Scotland. Mattia is dedicated to providing his clients with the best holiday they could have here in Verbier, full to the brim with a mix of fun on the slopes as well as a few challenges along the way.

Mattia has been coaching our kids for the past 3 years. One in particular has stopped skiing with us as he only wants to ski with Mattia! He is brilliant at brining out the best in themselves and elevating their skiing so they are confident on any terrain, gradient and condition. Can not recommend highly enough.
Mads Lauritzen says
Mattia is a superbly skilled and passionate instructor, among the very best I’ve had! He was coaching me for 2 weeks to improve my short turn, carving and mogul capabilities. He did an amazing job in lifting my performance over the this period through a mix of great communications skills, deep technical understanding and ability to convey/translate it to practical exercises. Besides this he is a very pleasant, fun, friendly and caring personality who wants you to succeed more than anything. Hence, I can only warmly recommend Mattia, and I would go back and take him as my instructor anytime. Thank you Mattia!!!

Mattia is just the best ski instructor !
Not only was he able to help build our confidence to ski all the slopes in Verbier and stay in control while doing so, we also had so much fun and laughter during the day.
My daughter (15) and I had a week of lessons with Mattia for the second time this year.
If possible, we would definitely choose to ski with him again next year.
Mattia has a wonderful personality and is a talented teacher.
David Davich says
Considering the many ski schools available in Verbier, it can be very confusing when selecting a school for personal instruction. I feel very lucky that I chose European Snowsport to provide me private ski lessons. Mattia was my instructor for four days skiing in Verbier. He was an excellent teacher and a supportive companion and mountain guide. Through his guidance and careful supervision, he was able to help me improve my skills and build my confidence. He encouraged me to ski challenging pistes that I would never try if I were skiing without an instructor. Most importantly through his instruction, I had four days of great skiing with no injuries! A very enjoyable and successful ski trip to Verbier!
Amelia Akanni says
I had an incredible 3 hour session with Mattia as a beginner skier. He was very kind & patient with me, but knew when to push me at the right times so I could build my confidence. We had great fun and a laugh! I highly recommend Mattia and look forward to my next lesson.
Alice Quai says
Mattia is my favourite Verbier ski instructor ! He is professional, very dedicated to actually helping you ski safely and enjoyably rather than going through the motions. He has really helped me work through bad skiing habits and learn about the mountain . He is also a lot of fun !
Suzanne Fraser says
Mattia took charge of our two kids for three weeks spaced over two visits. Their progress has been phenomenal – both were competent before but now capable of doing much, much more with improved technique, confidence and speed. As a parent he has communicated exceptionally well with us and from the children’s point of view he was enormous fun. Looking forward to next year !
Hannah Martin says
I spent 3 hours skiing with Mattia, and I would highly recommend him as an instructor. He is full of enthusiasm and energy, and is very passionate about skiing. He has the ability to push you out of your comfort zone, but in such a way that you’re comfortable doing it. The end result is massive improvement in confidence and ability!
Scott Alper says
Mattia was an exceptional instructor for our children. Our children learned so much from him over the week that they skied with him. He was great with both the kids and adults as we spent a lot of time altogether. I would highly recommend Mattia to all, you won’t be let down! We will use him every time we are in Verbier!!

Mattia made our two vacations in Verbier wonderful. He brings joy to skiing, and personalises his approach to each individual skier’s needs and abilities and goals for the day. He has boundless energy and a very strong work ethic. He met with us before his 10 days with us to get to know us. Each morning, he planned out the following day based on our wishes and ski conditions. He guided us on where to eat lunch each day. He found ways even when it rained to make the most of the time. For example, he showed us, and in particular, our son, all the avalanche tools skiers use and how they work. He taught him ways to be careful and our son listened. He taught our son the importance of being safe in the slopes and ski ballet. Since my son wants to race, Mattia worked his magic and was persistent in securing race training areas in the resort for our son and handled all of the details, making it all so simple and clear for us to proceed and our son benediftted greatly. I referred him to another family who cannot thank me enough because he was so positive for them during their weekend in Verbier. When our first vacation with our whole family in Verbier ended, my kids all said each day how they missed Mattia. My husband and I shared their sentiment. We still keep in touch! Mattia is a special person!

Very good teacher, very nice person
Arabella Connell says
This was the second time this year we have asked for Mattias to teach our kids. He has taken them from good skiers to all round confident and exceptional al skiers on all terrains, gradients and types of snow. He has given them the confidence to choose their line, know what they are capable of and then just push them that tiny bit more to fulfil their potential. Bring on 2023.
