See availabilityWe know the difference a small group can make. With fewer skiers to look after, our highly qualified Oxyski instructors can give everyone more individual attention, adapting their teaching to help you build confidence and progress at your own pace. Smaller groups also mean less waiting around, easier movement around the mountain and more time spent skiing.

At the start of your first lesson, your instructor will check your level and adjust the group if needed. Our priority is to make sure you’re skiing or snowboarding with others of a similar ability, so you can progress with confidence and enjoy every moment on the slopes.
Everyone starts somewhere. If you’re completely new to skiing, our instructors will help you build confidence, learn the basics and develop your technique at a pace that feels right for you. With clear guidance, plenty of encouragement and a relaxed approach, you’ll soon feel more comfortable on the slopes and ready to take your next step.

Your lesson with a dedicated Oxyski instructor.
A helmet, a lift pass for the ski area, gloves, goggles and sun cream. Skis, snowboards and boots can be rented from one of our equipment hire partners in your resort.
No. Our Discovery level is designed for complete beginners who have never skied before. You’ll be learning alongside others who are starting from the same place.
Choose the level that best matches your ability today. At the first session, your instructor will check your level and move you to another group if needed, at no extra cost.
In some of our resorts, we offer a Beginner Pack that can include your lessons, equipment hire and lift pass. Booking everything together means you can benefit from a better-value package price.
If you and your partner are at different levels, you’ll each join the group that best matches your ability. Lessons can still take place at the same time and meeting point. If you’d prefer to ski together, a private lesson is the best option.
You don’t need to be particularly fit, but being reasonably active and ready for a few hours on the slopes will help you get the most from your lesson. Your instructor will adapt the pace and breaks to suit the group. If there’s anything you’d prefer to avoid, just let them know at the start of your first lesson.
French and English are available in every resort. Depending on the resort, lessons may also be available in Dutch, Italian or Spanish. Let us know your preferred language when you book.
