Book an adaptive ski lesson“We booked 3 private lessons during the last week of the season and it exceeded all of our expectations! Our instructor Nathan was extremely patient, easy going, friendly, encouraging and above all professional.”
“A fantastic week for our children with the best ski instructor. Tom took them on so many adventures, every morning they were ready to go for their lessons!”
“We used Oxygene Ski & Snowboard School last year in Val Thorens, and that positive experience is exactly why we insisted on booking with them again this year. Highly recommended.”
At 2,300 metres, Val Thorens sits at the highest point of the Three Valleys, with easy access to Les Menuires, Méribel, Courchevel and beyond. Its high-altitude location means excellent snow conditions and a long ski season, while the surrounding peaks offer some of the most impressive views in the French Alps. With a huge variety of terrain right on your doorstep, there’s plenty to explore whatever your level.
“What we love most about teaching in Val Thorens is seeing each skier progress and gain confidence in such an incredible ski area. We take the time to understand each skier and what they want to achieve, whether they’re joining one of our small groups or booking a private lesson. For us, the most important thing is that every skier feels comfortable, confident and enjoys their time on the mountain – the technique follows.”
Get up early and ride the first lift up, then head to Tête Ronde to carve through perfectly groomed morning snow before the crowds arrive.
