Montara offers a 7-day premium winter program in Cortina d’Ampezzo — one of the most beautiful ski regions in the world and home to the 2026 Winter Olympics. Designed for children aged 8 to 14, our camp blends world-class ski instruction, cultural immersion, and warm, boutique-style care. Every child — beginner or advanced — finds their perfect mountain here.
Each day balances alpine adventure with meaningful off-snow experiences — cozy evening activities, nature walks, village visits, and optional Italian language sessions. Children return home not only stronger skiers, but more confident, independent, and connected to the world.

Winter Overview
Montara’s winter philosophy is rooted in three pillars:
- Adventure builds confidence: Children learn to embrace the mountains, develop new skills, and conquer challenges.
- Connection builds character: Shared experiences create friendships, emotional resilience, and meaningful bonds.
- The mountains build both: Through structured routines, mindful reflection, and Italian alpine culture, Montara nurtures independence, joy, and self-belief. Our carefully curated schedule balances skiing, culture, rest, and boutique-level care — ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and inspired.
