About Piani di Bobbio
Piani di Bobbio is the closest skiing to Milan — a cable car from Barzio in the Valsassina, little more than an hour from the city — and that proximity is the whole proposition.
It is small and its season depends on the weather, but for a metropolitan area of several million it is the difference between a lesson on a Saturday and a three-hour drive.

Where lessons start
Fine for a first contact with snow if you are in Milan. Go midweek — the same proximity that makes it convenient makes Saturdays crowded.
Getting there
Milan is around an hour and a quarter to Barzio, then the cable car.
Qualifications required in Italy
Teaching skiing or snowboarding for payment in Italy is a regulated profession: an instructor must hold the Maestro di sci, registered in the regional albo. Instructors listed as certified on Alpine Pal have either sent theirs to us for review or are vouched for by the ski school that invited them.

How do I get to Piani di Bobbio from Milan?
By road it is around an hour and a quarter to Barzio, in the Valsassina, then the cable car up to the slopes. Without a car, take the train to Lecco and a bus up the valley to Barzio. Go midweek if you can: it is the closest skiing to Milan, and Saturdays are correspondingly crowded. The season depends on the weather, so check conditions before setting off.
