See availabilityBefore learning to ski, children first discover the snow. Lessons take place in our snowgarden, a safe, enclosed area beside the slopes with its own magic carpet. Learning starts through play: before they know it, children are making their first snowplough turns as they follow the course.
No lift pass is needed on the first day. Your instructor will let you know what is required for the following days. At the end of the course, your child will receive a medal and progress booklet, just like the older children.
Snow Bears lessons are taught in small groups, giving the instructor plenty of time and attention for each child.
Everything takes place in the snowgarden, using the magic carpet.
French and English are spoken in every resort, and often a third language too. When children understand what is being asked of them, they feel more confident giving it a go.
In La Plagne: mornings or afternoon lessons are available depending on the season. Your weekly schedule is confirmed when you book.
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.
At this age, there is one ski level and one snowboard level. If your child already has some experience, the instructor will assess them during the first session and recommend moving up a level if appropriate. Not sure which level to choose? Take the level test.
