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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For 25 years, Oxyski has been helping more people experience the freedom and enjoyment of skiing. Our adaptive ski lessons are personalised to each individual, with dedicated instructors and equipment tailored to your needs, abilities and goals.
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 Oxyski 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!
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.”
Superluge Derby. 5km of extreme sledging after the slopes shut.
Les Inversens is great for its fantastic views!
Well we have two... The Mont Blanc - nearly 7km of blue run magic, and the Fun Slope - great for the kids.
Our ski school meeting point is on the snowfront in Plagne Centre, just below the Colorado chairlift and above the Croq’Neige restaurant. Look out for the Oxyski flags, our instructors in blue jackets and, of course, plenty of smiles. Group lessons start at 10 am, giving you time to make the most of the first lifts and squeeze in a few runs before your lesson. After all, practice makes perfect.
