See availabilityNobody is watching.
That is what most adult beginners fear, and it goes on the first morning: the group is at your level, learning the same moves and falling just as often.
The instructor keeps the group all week, explains why a move works, which matters more at 40 than at 8, and picks terrain the group can take.
Eight adults at most.
The instructor sees every run and corrects on the spot, not at the bottom of the slope.
One group, one level.
Groups are built by level, never by age. Nobody waits, nobody chases.
Bilingual instructors.
French and English in every resort, often a third language.
In Megève: mornings, afternoons or full days depending on the season. The shape of the week is chosen when you book.
Choosing the lesson.
Pick the level that describes you today. The instructor checks at the first session and moves you to another group if needed, free of charge. Not sure? Take the level test.

The meeting point
Outside the OxySki office, Our Oxyski meeting point is located at the foot of the Mont d’Arbois slopes, between the Mont d’Arbois gondola and the PT Vorasset drag lift, next to our Magic Fun Factory children’s area. Getting there is easy: the Mont d’Arbois car park opens directly onto the area, the bus stop is around 50 metres away, and the Rocharbois gondola from Caboche brings you to within 30 metres of the meeting point. Look out for the Oxyski flags, signs and our instructors in blue jackets., ten minutes before the lesson. Directions

I have never skied, is it too late?
No. The Découverte level is made for adults who have never put skis on. You will not be the only one in the group.
How do I choose my level?
Take the one that describes you today. The instructor checks at the first session and changes group if needed, free of charge.

The lesson, the equipment rental and the lift pass booked in one go, at the rate the school has negotiated.
My partner and I are not at the same level.
Each of you joins your own group, at the same times and the same meeting point. To ski together, book a private lesson.
Do I need to be fit?
No. The instructor sets the pace and the breaks for the group. Say at the first lesson what you would rather avoid.
What language is the lesson in?
French and English in every resort. Depending on the resort, also Dutch, Italian or Spanish. Tell us which one when you book.
