About Us

Shop & Family History

Founded over 50 years ago by Amato Eydallin, one of Italy’s first certified ski instructors, together
with his daughter Mariella, Eydallin Sport has become a true landmark in Sauze d’Oulx.

Today, the shop is run by Amato’s son Renato and grandchildren Simone and Marco — all
professional ski instructors and race trainers — proudly carrying forward his legacy of passion and
excellence on the slopes.

Amato Eydallin

Amato Eydallin began teaching skiing in 1936 in Sestriere.

Among Amato’s clients were King Umberto II and the Agnelli family, founders of FIAT.

 

Thanks to a generous tip from one of his students, he was able to invest in what would become Eydallin Sport, right here in Sauze d’Oulx.

Renato Eydallin

Renato got married to his English wife Caroline (who you’ll find next door running the Scotch Bar and Hotel Stella Alpina), qualified as a ski instructor in 1972 and as a federal trainer in 1974.

 

Since then, he has dedicated his life to the rental side of the business, bringing decades of experience and expertise to every skier who walks through our doors.

Marco Eydallin

Marco and his brother Simone began skiing at the age of three and raced with the Sauze d’Oulx Ski Club for over ten years.

 

After qualifying as a ski instructor and race coach, Marco dedicated himself to the emerging discipline of freestyle skiing, achieving excellent results in both British and Italian championships. He went on to found FreeSki Sauze, a freestyle and freeride club that has rapidly grown in popularity and recognition over the past few years.

 

A passionate mountaineer, Marco is also a certified mountain guide with the prestigious Piemonte Mountain Guide School. He now organises year-round mountain expeditions and training camps, sharing his deep love for
the mountains in every season.

Simone Eydallin

After racing for the Piemonte Regional Team, Simone set his sights on reaching the highest level of technical excellence in Italian skiing. At the age of 23, he became the youngest ever to earn the prestigious title of “Istruttore Nazionale”
— the highest qualification in Italy, held by only about 180 instructors nationwide.

 

He has worked as a trainer with World Cup race teams and represented Italy at the Interski Congress in Argentina (2015), where the Italian team won first place.

 

Today, Simone coaches young athletes aspiring to become ski instructors and teaches for FreeSki Sauze, the freestyle and freeride club founded by his brother Marco.

 

In recent years, he has also distinguished himself in vertical and skyrunning competitions, achieving several podium finishes.

 

His wife, Emily, an experienced ski instructor, offers private ski lessons in Sauze.

Elisabetta Eydallin

A lifelong skier, Elisabetta chose a different path from her brothers, becoming a mountain bike instructor while remaining deeply connected to mountain life.

 

She manages Hotel Stella Alpina together with her mum Caroline, offering guests the warm hospitality that defines the Eydallin family.

 

Her personal project, and one of her greatest achievements, is Baby Parking La Libellula — a highly regarded crèche providing outstanding care for children aged 13 months to 6 years during the winter season, along with fun and educational summer camps.

 

Her husband, Andrea Tiberi — Italian national champion and Rio 2016 Olympian — runs Bike-do, a successful and fast-growing mountain bike organisation that promotes outdoor activity and a love of nature.

 

Andrea, a true local legend in Sauze, still finds time to lend a hand at the Scotch Bar alongside Elisabetta between work and training sessions.
