Freestyle skiing or snowboarding
Turn the mountain into your playground. Freestyle is all about creativity, confidence and control. Whether you’re skiing or snowboarding, your Oxyski instructor will help you develop the technique to tackle jumps, boxes, rails, moguls and park features with more style and confidence. From your first tricks to more technical lines, every session is adapted to your level, your goals and the terrain available on the day.
Cross-country skiing
Slow it down, pick up the pace, or do a bit of both. Cross-country skiing is a brilliant way to explore the quieter side of the mountains, away from the lifts and busy pistes. Glide through snowy forests, follow dedicated Nordic trails and discover a completely different way to move through the winter landscape. Whether you’re trying it for the first time or looking to improve your technique, our qualified instructors can help you progress in classic or skating style.
Moonlight
When the lifts stop, the mountain changes. Head back onto the snow after dark and experience the slopes in a completely different atmosphere. Under the moonlight, with the resort glowing below, enjoy an evening on skis with an Oxyski instructor and discover the mountain long after the daytime crowds have gone.
Tandem Ski
Tandem skiing lets you experience the slopes from the comfort of a specially adapted sit-ski, with an Oxyski instructor in control. Sit back, take in the views and enjoy the feeling of gliding through the mountains without having to ski yourself.
Ski touring or splitboarding
Leave the lifts behind and discover a different side of the mountain. Ski touring and splitboarding take you away from the pistes, climbing under your own power before enjoying the reward: the descent. Whether you’re trying touring for the first time or looking to explore further, an experienced Oxyski instructor or guide will choose an itinerary to suit your level, the conditions and the mountains around you.
First Tracks
Head into the mountains in the quiet of the early morning with an Oxyski instructor and enjoy a completely different atmosphere before the ski area gets busy. Depending on the resort and format, you may skin up, access the mountain early or follow a specially planned route before enjoying some of the first turns of the day.
Superluge Derby
3, 2, 1… go! Swap your skis for a sledge and get ready for a very different kind of descent. The Superluge Derby takes you down 450 metres of vertical drop on a specially designed sledge, with your Oxyski guide leading the way from start to finish. Fast, fun and best enjoyed with friends, it’s around 1.5 hours of pure mountain entertainment once the pistes begin to quieten down.
Moonbikes
Electric. Lightweight. Seriously good fun. Discover La Plagne and Belle Plagne after the lifts close on a 100% electric Moonbike. Lighter, quieter and easier to handle than a traditional snowmobile, these compact snow bikes are made for carving through the snow once the pistes have emptied.
Adaptive skiing
Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the mountains. For 25 years, Oxyski has been offering personalised adaptive ski experiences, with specially trained instructors and equipment selected to suit each skier. Every session is shaped around you, so you can enjoy the slopes with confidence and at your own pace.
Client reviews
4.9/5 Trip Advisor rating
What a brilliant afternoon's tuition on carving from Daniel at Oxyski Ski School at Belle Plagne. Highly recommended and wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.
My son enjoyed his morning lessons and got confident very soon . He was introduced to new slopes and skills each day. Booking was convenient and the team ate great with responding to queries.
We all improved… I find all the Oxyski instructors friendly and keen to ensure their clients enjoy themselves and ski safely.
Discover Belle Plagne with Oxyski
Perched at 2,050 metres, Belle Plagne is one of La Plagne’s highest villages. Built in 1981, it’s also one of the resort’s youngest, with traditional Savoyard-inspired architecture and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Its high-altitude location puts you right at the heart of the skiing, with easy access to the wider La Plagne and Paradiski area. And here’s a little local history: the “Belle” in Belle Plagne comes from Bellentre, the former commune the village was originally part of.
"What we love about Oxyski Belle Plagne is the warm welcome right from the moment you arrive. We take pride in welcoming everyone, including through our adaptive ski lessons. Seeing every client leave with a smile - that’s our true priority!"
JJulien Favre - Ski School Director
Favourite apres-ski activity
Moonbikes are a fun, easy-to-ride electric snow bike that lets you glide over the snow with full control, no ski experience required.
A great lunchtime stop
The Arpette Restaurant - fab food, fab hot chocolates and fab service.
Best off-piste in La Plagne
The North Face of the Bellcote is an absolute must if you are a good level. But remember you must always go with a proffesional guide... and Oxyski can help with exactly that!
