Description

A ski instructor is someone who professionally teaches, even on a non-exclusive and non-continuous basis, individuals and groups the skiing techniques in all their specializations, practiced with any type of equipment on ski slopes, ski routes, off-piste ski routes, and ski tours that do not involve difficulties requiring the use of mountaineering techniques and materials such as rope, ice axe, and crampons.

Pursuant to Legislative Decree 206/2007 implementing Directive 2005/36/CE, the free provision of services may be carried out in Italy on a temporary and occasional basis within the framework of the free provision of services by a citizen legally established in another EU/EEA State (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) or in Switzerland, where they practice the same profession.

One is legally established in a State when all requirements for practicing the profession in that State are met and one is not subject to any prohibition, not even temporary, from practicing the profession itself.

Before carrying out the activity of a ski instructor in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol, a prior notification must be sent to the competent provincial office (Area funzionale Turismo), attaching the documentation required by Directive 2005/36/CE.

For data protection reasons, prior notification must be provided by the person directly concerned, i.e. the ski instructors themselves.

The temporary and occasional activity of a ski instructor can be carried out in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol for a maximum of 50 days per winter season – the prior notification must be renewed annually.
 

Prior notification must be given exclusively via the online service of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol, which is available at the following address:

https://tourism-temporary-professions.civis.bz.it
