“Can’t recommend Oxyski enough. I am a first time skier on a winter season and the progress I’ve made in just a few lessons has been amazing.”
“We absolutely loved everything about Oxygene La Plagne. We had four four-hour lessons with Fabio, and he was just brilliant.”
“I felt more confident on my skis after, and it never felt stressful or overwhelming – just motivating and enjoyable!”
Discover La Plagne with Oxyski
Oxyski was born in La Plagne, so the resort will always hold a special place in our hearts – and it truly is our playground. With 11 villages, 225 km of pistes and easy access to neighbouring Les Arcs, La Plagne offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the French Alps. It’s a fantastic family destination, with skiing for every level, from complete beginners to experts.
“La Plagne is a fantastic resort for everyone. We’re very proud that it’s where the Oxyski story began, with our first ski school opening here over 35 years ago.”
JJulien Favre - Ski School Director
Favourite apres-ski activity
Superluge Derby. 5km of extreme sledging after the slopes shut.
A great on slope restaurant for lunch
Les Inversens is great for its fantastic views!
A piste not to be missed
Well we have two... The Mont Blanc - nearly 7km of blue run magic, and the Fun Slope - great for the kids.

Frequently asked questions · La Plagne
Where do we meet on the first day?
At the meeting point on the Plagne Centre snow front, just steps from the L'Orée des Pistes office. Arrive 15 minutes early — on the first day we take the time to put the groups together.
What are the group lesson times?
Morning 10:00am–12:30pm and afternoon 3:00pm–5:00pm in high season. Lessons start on Sunday (6 days) or Monday (5 days).
What do the kids do between the two lessons?
The Lunch Club: the ideal lunch break for hungry young skiers, supervised by the school, while parents enjoy their day.
Can I switch groups mid-week?
Yes. If the level is not right, the instructor moves you to another group as soon as the next day — they take care of it. Ability matters more than age.
Do I need to book equipment separately?
No: lessons, rental and Chalet Fitting are booked in the same cart, with the lesson + rental discount applied automatically.
