Private Ski Guiding in Alta Badia & the Dolomites

Private ski days, personally guided, exclusively for you. 1,200 kilometres of interconnected slopes are a gift only to those who know them by heart.

Check Availability, Winter 2026/2027

The reality

A vast ski area is only a gift if somebody knows it by heart.

The Dolomites reward insiders and quietly punish visitors. Most guests lose a third of their holiday to logistics they never expected.

1.200 kilometres of piste, one short holiday

The Dolomiti Superski map is magnificent and completely overwhelming. Guests spend the first two days decoding lift numbers instead of skiing the runs that actually matter.

The famous runs are the crowded runs

Every guidebook sends everyone to the same six slopes at the same hour. The quiet powder fields and empty panorama ridges sit two valleys away, unmarked and unmentioned.

Lost hours, average lunches

Queueing at the wrong lift, arriving at a full hut without a table, driving home in traffic. Small frictions quietly consume the best light of the day.

The promise

One guide, from your hotel door to the last run.

Born in these valleys and guiding across the range for more than twenty seasons, Lois removes every decision, queue and compromise from your ski day.

  • Daily route planning, rebuilt each morning around snow, light and wind
  • Door-to-slope transfers via hotel shuttle, or heli-transfers on request
  • Direct relationships with the Aman Rosa Alpina, Hotel La Perla and the Kolfuschger Hof
  • Pre-booked terrace tables at the finest gourmet huts, Michelin-starred dining on request
  • Only a limited number of guests accepted each season

Meet your guide

Your host on the finest slopes in Italy.

Top-tier guiding goes far beyond teaching turns, it is about curating your perfect vacation. I act as your personal ski concierge, unlocking the Dolomiti Superski network so you never have to look at a map or stress over logistics. I speak fluent English, understand the standards of luxury hospitality, and know how to read a group's energy. Whether you want to comfortably cruise the Sellaronda or refine your technique on beautiful red runs, I ensure your day is safe, elegant and completely effortless.

The mountain, read in real time

Conditions change by the hour. Lois reads the snow, light, wind and lift flow continuously, then adjusts the route before queues or weather interrupt the day.

  • Fresh route decisions throughout the day
  • Quiet slopes chosen around live conditions
  • Local alternatives ready when weather changes

Trust and partners

Trusted by discerning travellers, recommended by leading hotels.

Couples, small friend groups and professionals from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand return season after season.

01
We have skied Verbier, Aspen and Niseko. Nothing came close to the week Lois built for us. Every morning he was at the hotel with a plan that felt made for exactly that day, and every lunch was better than the last.

As a first visit to the Dolomites, we would have wasted days finding our way. Instead we were on empty ridges by nine, looking at scenery that genuinely made my wife emotional. Faultless organisation, zero stress.

Lois is world-class at his craft and still completely down to earth. He read our energy perfectly, pushed us on the good days, and knew exactly when to stop for a glass of Lagrein in the sun.

The process

From first message to first descent in three steps.

  1. 1

    Step 01

    Enquire, spontaneously or in advance

    Send a WhatsApp message with your dates, your hotel and how many of you are skiing. Short-notice requests are genuinely welcome. A small deposit confirms and holds your days.

  2. 2

    Step 02

    Your itinerary is designed around you

    Lois builds a plan around your ability, your pace, your hotel location and the current snow. Hut tables are reserved, transfers arranged, equipment sorted if you need it.

  3. 3

    Step 03

    Pick-up at your resort, then the mountain

    He collects you at your hotel, and the rest of the day simply happens. No maps, no queues, no decisions. Just the finest skiing and dining the Dolomites can offer.

Good to know

Everything you may want to ask before booking.

A deposit of 50 percent confirms your dates and is deducted from the final amount. The balance is settled on the last guiding day by card, bank transfer or cash. Peak weeks around Christmas, New Year and February half term are usually reserved several months in advance.

Yes, and many guests do. If a day is free, Lois can often confirm a pick-up for the following morning. Message him directly on WhatsApp for the fastest answer, usually within a couple of hours.

The plan changes, not the quality of the day. Lois moves you to sheltered valleys, tree-line runs or lower touring objectives. If conditions make guiding genuinely unsafe or pointless, the day is postponed or the deposit is returned in full.

Multi-day tours run from two to seven days, either hut to hut with luggage transfers or based comfortably at your hotel with a different valley each day. Every reservation, transfer and safety arrangement is handled by Lois.

Confident on red pistes is enough for private guiding days. Off-piste and touring days require solid parallel technique and reasonable fitness. Lois assesses the first hour honestly and calibrates the week accordingly.

Safety equipment for off-piste and touring days is provided, including transceiver, shovel and probe. Premium ski and touring gear rental can be arranged and delivered to your hotel before your first morning.

Quotes are given personally on WhatsApp or by email. Prices exclude lift passes, rental equipment, lunch, and car or helicopter transfers. A 50 percent deposit confirms your dates and is deducted from the final amount.

Final step

Let's design your winter escape.

Only a limited number of guests are accepted each winter, protecting the personal service behind every day. Send your dates early and you will hear back personally, usually within hours.
