Book an adaptive ski lesson“My two boys had the best time in Yuri’s second star, full day class .. so much so they begged me to organise a private session with him after the end of their week!”
“Both of my daughters had a fantastic experience with their Oxyski lessons. They’ve improved their ski skills and confidence. Highly recommend!”
“Antoine was incredibly patient, encouraging, and clear in his explanations. He made sure everyone felt comfortable while still challenging us to improve each day. His tips were easy to understand and made a real difference in building my confidence on the slopes.”
Val d’Isère is one of the world’s most iconic ski resorts, combining exceptional high-altitude skiing with the charm of a traditional Alpine village. Linked with neighbouring Tignes, its vast ski area offers everything from wide, confidence-building pistes to challenging terrain and renowned off-piste. Once a small mountain village, Val d’Isère has grown into an internationally celebrated resort while retaining its authentic character. With world-class skiing, spectacular terrain and a lively atmosphere, it’s easy to see why skiers and snowboarders return year after year.
“At Oxyski, we believe a ski lesson should be about more than simply improving your technique – it should be an experience you genuinely enjoy. That’s why we keep our groups small, giving every skier the attention they need to progress at their own pace. Our passionate, multilingual instructors know Val d’Isère inside out and combine expert tuition with a friendly, personal approach, helping you build confidence, improve your skiing and make the most of every moment on the mountain.”
To get your day off to a good start, head to Laisinant for a quiet warm-up, or Solaise for beginners. Then enjoy the long, flowing blue runs in the Pisaillas / Fornet area to work on your technique across beautiful wide-open slopes.
For an authentic lunch with breathtaking mountain views, Refuge de Solaise offers a spectacular setting and panoramic views from the top of Solaise.
Set off from Fornet or Laisinant at around 10am to reach the higher slopes quickly.
