Ilaria Bermond

Get to know Iaia

Hi, I’m Ilaria Bermond, but you can call me Iaia. My journey on skis began at the tender age of three, under the watchful eye of my dad, as we carved through the pristine slopes of the Italian Alps in my hometown of San Sicario. My childhood was a blur of snowflakes and adrenaline, as I competed fiercely in national ski competitions, mastering the art of Giant Slalom, Super G, and Downhill.

These days, I find pure joy in racing down pistes at exhilarating speeds, but my greatest fulfilment comes from sharing this passion with others. Becoming a ski instructor was my dream come true, allowing me to inspire and guide others to push beyond their limits and discover their own love for skiing.

When I’m not on the slopes, you might find me hitchhiking across the globe, a surprising passion of mine, or working in my family’s restaurant during the summer months. My love for adventure extends beyond skiing — I thrive on travelling, especially to the vibrant corners of South America, and I enjoy swimming and climbing too.

Years ago, I made the bold choice to leave university behind to explore India, a decision that has enriched my life in countless ways. With 8 years of experience as an Alpine Ski Instructor, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in renowned resorts like Meribel, Courchevel, and La Tania.
