MegèveTeenagers' lessons
Teenagers' lessons in Megève.
Pro-Rider for 13 to 17 year olds, and the adult levels for those who already ski well. Six per group, the same instructor all week.
See availabilityNeither children nor adults.
At 14 you want nothing to do with the little ones' group and you have no business in your parents' one. We do our best to put teenagers in a group that suits them, with other teenagers their age where we can.
Level remains the criterion: a teenager who already skis well joins the adult groups, where they find a group that matches them.
Six per group.
Few enough for the instructor to correct every run, enough for a group to form.
A lesson of their own.
Pro-Rider, 13 to 17: easy off-piste, moguls and the snowpark, depending on the day's snow.
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 them today. The instructor checks at the first session and moves them 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

Will my teenager be with other teenagers?
We do our best to put teenagers in a group that suits them, with other teenagers their age where we can. Level remains the first criterion.
Can they join an adult lesson?
Yes, from age 13, in the Découverte to Steep & Deep levels. It is often the right choice for a teenager who already skis well.
How do we choose the level?
Take the one that describes them today, not the one they are aiming for. The instructor checks at the first session and changes group if needed, free of charge.
Can two friends of different levels be together?
No, a group brings together skiers of the same level. To ski together whatever happens, book a private lesson.
Is the snowpark on the programme?
Yes, from Pro-Rider and the advanced levels, when the snow and the park allow it. The instructor decides on the spot.
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.
