Stefano Avantaggiato

Get to know Stefano

Hi, I’m Stefano. I’m a fully qualified ski and snowboard instructor. I specialise in a variety of disciplines, including piste skiing, freestyle snowboarding, off-piste terrain, ski touring, and even split boarding. I teach in the incredible Tignes and Val d’Isère, where there’s endless terrain to explore and challenges for all abilities.

I started skiing at the age of 3 and picked up snowboarding at 10, growing up right at the heart of the Bardonecchia ski resort. Some of my favourite memories are those carefree days, crafting jumps in fresh powder and discovering new terrain.

There’s nothing better than seeing someone gain confidence, discover the joy of gliding down a slope, or conquer new challenges they once thought impossible. When I’m not on the slopes, you’ll find me on two wheels, road biking across Europe during the summer, or even in the kitchen—yes, I’m also a chef! But, above all, the mountains are my true home.
