Lara Giamberardino

I started skiing at the age of five, taught by my dad, and grew up in Trento—a city located right next to the slopes, where the mountains were always close by. I followed a competitive path for several years, racing in FIS competitions mainly in giant slalom. While I really enjoyed ski racing, I eventually realised that teaching is where my true passion lies. In my free time, I love freeriding and ski touring, especially when it means exploring quieter parts of the mountains.

One of my most meaningful ski memories is the first time I taught a friend how to ski—we had so much fun, and that experience really stayed with me. I became a ski instructor to share my passion for skiing and help others enjoy the sport as much as I do. What I love most about being an instructor is teaching something I truly care about and seeing people experience the joy of skiing.

Outside of winter, I spend much of my time travelling and am currently learning how to sail. I enjoy studying and continuously educating myself on topics that interest me, and whenever possible I’m happiest ski touring or trekking in the mountains. Alongside skiing, I hold a university degree in Law and am a fully qualified Italian ski instructor—and, despite what people might assume, I’m not naturally blonde.
