Why Happy Skiers Choose Riky
EXCELLENT Based on 48 reviews Posted on Justas Butkus2026-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Riky is nothing short of amazing. Before we arrived, he shared suggestions and recommendations about Cervinia. For our first meet-up, he chose a time and spot that was easy to access from our hotel, and also gave clear instructions. But most importantly, the lessons were fantastic. We started slow, on an easier run, during which Riky understood our current level. From there on it was only up. We had a good mixture of exercises, to improve our control of the skis, and some time purely enjoying the time on the slopes. While we started the morning somewhat uncertain, after a longer break, by the end of first day we took a turn to a red run and completed it without a fright. We will definitely return to Cervinia, and seek out time with Riky.Posted on Lara Gilman2026-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an excellent day and a half with Riky. He’s a great instructor, great person to chat with throughout the day— and really helpful in making the most of our time in Cervinia and Zermatt. My skiing improved loads and he was also great on advice with the lift queues. So got more forward in my skis and in the lifts :)Posted on David Briggs2026-02-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have skied with Riky for three years now. He is an amazing instructor who is brilliant with children and adults alike and able to get everyone skiing to the very best of their ability whilst having fun! He is also considerate, polite, super professional and will do everything he can to make sure you have a great holiday as well as maximising your time on the slopes. I wouldn’t trust my family with anyone more than Riky. Grazie Riky! 👍⛷️Posted on Pietro Cravero2026-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Riky è un maestro professionale e grande conoscitore del territorio. Molto professionale, attento alla sicurezza e fa sempre migliorare la tecnica sciistica. Sa consigliare sui ristoranti migliori sia in pista che la sera. Super consigliatoPosted on Deborah Borghi2026-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Riki is an outstanding ski instructor in Cervinia. He combines great technical skills with a relaxed and engaging teaching style. His advice is always clear, practical, and easy to apply on the slopes, which helped me improve quickly and feel more confident. What really makes the difference, though, is the atmosphere he creates. Every lesson was not only useful but also genuinely fun. The days on the mountain were exciting, dynamic, and full of positive energy. If you’re looking for a skilled instructor who knows how to teach effectively while making the experience enjoyable and memorable, Riki is definitely the right choice.Posted on girolamo galati2026-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ho preso lezioni con il Maestro Riky e mi sono trovato molto bene. È una persona professionale, preparata e capace di mettere subito a proprio agio. Spiega in modo chiaro e semplice, adattando la lezione al livello dell’allievo e dando consigli pratici che portano a miglioramenti concreti già dopo poche discese. Attento alla sicurezza e ai dettagli tecnici, riesce a rendere l’apprendimento piacevole e motivante. Lo consiglio sia a chi è alle prime armi sia a chi vuole perfezionare la propria tecnica. PS: il miglior maestro che io abbia avuto.Posted on dinu toderita2026-02-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Riky is great with children and very, very patient. Always giving us helpful feedback. The videos are a big plus!Posted on Valentina Burdisso2026-02-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second year in a row that we’ve chosen Riki to teach our son and his three Irish cousins, and once again he exceeded all our expectations. Last year in Cervinia and this year in Courmayeur and La Thuile, he delivered an absolutely fantastic experience. Riki is incredibly patient, kind, and engaging with the kids, but at the same time firm and very clear when it comes to safety and respecting the rules on the slopes. The progress the children made in just one week was remarkable and a real pleasure to see. He is always extremely responsive, reliable, and helpful—not only with ski instruction but with every aspect of the holiday. From equipment rentals and accommodation tips to transport and great recommendations for places to eat or visit, Riki was a constant source of support. He is punctual, flexible, and always adapts to the children’s needs and energy levels. The extra touches really set him apart: the wonderful GoPro video capturing the kids’ progress throughout the week, and the lovely end-of-week ceremony with medals and treats, which made the experience truly unforgettable for them. We couldn’t recommend Riki more highly and will definitely be booking him again in the future!Posted on Don Daly2026-02-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Riky as a ski instructor, our kids had great time and improve a tremendous amount in their sking over a week in Courmayeur and La Thuille. His teaching method is excellent and child centred and the bonus was an excellent video of the week created by Riky,Posted on Mark Browne2026-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Looking for a private ski instructor for young children, teenagers or adults, genuinely look no further than Riky! Over the past two seasons, Riky has taught all ages of our extended family in the beautiful Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley) in Italy (and near France) from Valtourneche to Cervinia to Zermatt to Courmayeur to La Thuile. Riky is the ultimate Ski Pro guiding all ages in a professional and patient manner. He is multilingual including being a very clear English speaking instructor. I really trust Riky in working with the kids in the family. He taught all the four kids ranging now from 4 to 10 together in a controlled manner, balancing teaching and fun. Riky had the children going from snow plough “pizza slice” to highly confident parallel turns in no time at all (so much so that one of the young ones started to give me technical ski tips!). He really is the best Maestro di Sci I have ever met. I am very grateful to him for the love of skiing he has given the children, a gift they will have forever. I have also really enjoyed my own lessons with Riky and my skiing technique has dramatically improved. Riky is also very hard working and generous in sharing his knowledge be that on ski equipment, clothing or most importantly the best spots for a coffee, food or apres ski on the Aosta Valley slopes! Sincerest thanks to you Riky!
