For dedicated snow lovers, the summer can simply be a long and boring wait for the first signs of fresh snow to come around again between ski seasons.
NO MORE! Welcome to our Argentina Ski Camps!
From our summer base in Argentina, we are running ski improver and performance training from one of the Southern Hemisphere’s premier ski destinations — Cerro Cetadral, Bariloche.
SIA’s world class coaches will help identify your strengths and weaknesses, building and overcoming them and any obstacles you face when skiing in a relaxed and fun coaching camp. Designed for those who want to take their skiing to a higher level, build your confidence, and improve your technical ability, so you can tackle those tricky black runs, icy conditions, powder, moguls and anything else the mountain can throw at you! In the SIA Argentina ski camp, we will help to perfect your position, improve balance and add in dynamics to help you become an all round skier. Perfect for skiing enthusiasts looking for a new adventure.
Our Argentina Ski Camp is also ideal for instructors preparing for high level ski qualifications such as Landes 1 & 2, BASI 3 & 4, CSIA 3 & 4 & NZSIA 3 & 4, offering coaching for dynamic short turns, fast race carving, perfecting mogul skiing and shredding deep powder.

Whats included
Our Argentina Ski Camp is a high quality, action packed adventure from start to finish, without compromise. Awesome destination, luxury accommodation, world class coaching and great company to enjoy it with!
If I could go back and do it all again I would, without a doubt! Apart from the extreme goggle tan I went home with, there wasn’t any negatives. The instructors, people and area were amazing, even if you aren’t a great skier or haven’t skied at all go for it, that’s what I did and I now can proudly say I have my Landes one qualification.
In my opinion SIA is your only choice to become a ski instructor. For me, it was difficult to chose between all the different schools but I have never regretted the decision to choose SIA. The course was very well planned, organised and worth every dollar I paid for it.
“What a great experience, the best coaches I’ve ever had! Would advise any friends and family to do it, also the best value for money of all the options I researched. Sehr gut!”
The course was outstanding, the teaching level was unbeatable, the location was superb and the instructors and people that are part of the SIA team are remarkable… I wish I could do it all over again!

2021/22 was the first season post-Brexit and added some red tape to what would historically have been a normal season for students from the UK. To work anywhere in the world now, incl. Europe, Brits will need a visa or permit to work. The Authorities here in Austria have said that they plan to have a ‘seasonnaire permit’ in place at some point in the future to allow workers short-term access to the employment market during the winter season.
Whilst this is potentially great news, there has still – 3 years on – been no further news on this ‘seasonaire permit’ and so it will be highly unlikely that anything will be in place anytime soon, which does still leaves uncertainty on what will be required from UK nationals working in Austria in the future.
As of yet there is still no further news or update on the Austrian ‘seasonnaire permit’ or any other pathway to enable Brits to work in Austria or any other EU country via any independently accessible work visa or any alternative method. (latest update: 1st February 2023)
You must be a minimum of 16 years old before you arrive into resort on our Austrian Courses.
You must be a minimum of 18 years old before you arrive in resort for our Canadian or Argentinian Courses (unless parental consent is obtained).
You must be a minimum of 18 years old to join any of our courses or internships which rely on a working holiday visa or work permit.
Although SIA courses are amongst the largest in the World, we generally manage to maintain very intimate training groups of between 4:1 and 8:1, but with absolutely no more than 10:1 students per trainer in Austria, Argentina, Canada, France and NZ. This allows us to match similar ability levels per group and means no student should ever feel as if they are falling behind, or being held back because of the group they are in.
We have various options for accommodation on our courses, all of which are very comfortable. We use a combination of shared apartments, houses and chalets. There are options to to include a single room, half board meals or both! (subject to availability and supplement). See our Accommodation page for more details on your options.
YES! As an employed instructor, ski schools will offer you subsidised staff housing as part of your employment contract. This is generally basic living, but a fun and very social environment with your fellow instructors and not to mention a very cheap way of living in a ski resort, with most ski schools only charging between €4 and €10 per day.
Note: If your course does not include a Job Guarantee or you do not wish to take up your position then accommodation will only be included during your course dates.
Sure! We love it when friends come together and share this amazing experience – after all sharing is caring! We can make sure you live together and also work in the same ski school together too so you can enjoy the time and make memories forever… just be sure to let us know who you’re travelling with.
