Skiing experience: First time skier (23 years old). Lessons used: 6x3 hour group lessons in the morning (incl. additional 2 hours on the first day). Highlights: Alberto was an excellent ski instructor and helped me to progress from falling over on every green run to successfully completing red runs by the end of the week. He was very knowledge, patient and most importantly he was very fun to spend time with over the week. I thoroughly enjoyed my time skiing and I would definitely recommend going to the Oxygene Ski School if you are a first time skier and are looking for an fun, enjoyable environment whilst also improving your skiing ability.

Welcome to the British Alpine Ski School. We have more years experience than we care to mention in helping skiers get the most out of the mountains. For 12 years BASS has been delivering a quality product and an awesome team of inspirational ski coaches. We promise to enhance your skiing experience and enjoyment of the mountains and we are enthusiastic about teaching all levels and ages. Val d'Isere has long been one of the most popular ski resorts Having started life way back in the 11th century as a village, rather than being purpose-built as a resort, it still has a traditional charm. It has one of the longest seasons in the Alps - from December to May - and access to 300km of Espace Killy piste makes it a paradise for skiers and boarders of all levels. Its off-piste, too, has a reputation for being some of the world's best. Though you would think it a playground for the rich, Val d'Isere actually has something to suit all budgets and a thriving community.

BASS is different, they have become great friends as well as great instructors and guides! We have been fortunate that over the past 5 years our now teenage children have had the benefit of the best ski lessons and experience from Steve, Craig and the BASS team in Val D’Isere. This year the kids graduated black group and it hit home to me how far they have come from the first lesson with BASS as they flew past me on a very icy Plan M, demonstrating great skills under complete control and laughing with their friends. When they started with BASS at the age of 11 and 9 they had 3 years of lessons with ESF and had not enjoyed the experience. I was fortunate to have got to know Steve, Craig and Conkey from guiding in another resort. Steve said to head to Val and give BASS a try with the kids....the lessons are small groups (usually max 8 at half term) with English speakers (well - Wigan and Glasgow mainly!). It was the best decision we ever made, The kids loved it so much, they asked to go back every year, making great friends in their group (as have the parents) and looking forward each year to their week skiing with Steve and Craig. This year our half term was early so the group was only the four friends, BASS didn’t try to add in inappropriate level skiers, they took them all over the mountains in tricky conditions and had yet another amazing week. Sadly Steve wasn’t in resort (as he was sorting out BASS Norway - which we will have to try) but Craig has become the new favourite anyway (sorry Steve)! Given how good they are, I decided to have a morning guiding/lesson with one of the new additions to the BASS team (Dave), this proved to be a morning well spent as I learned how to properly ski Le Face at pace... I will be back for lessons and whilst the kids might have graduated ski school, they are looking forward to guiding by BASS next year! A long way from refusing to ever go in a lesson again..... I could genuinely wax lyrical about how good BASS are....but have run out of words.... thanks Steve, Craig, Conkey, Dave, Sam and the whole team. We look forward to seeing you next year! Tim (Rachel, Evelyn and Henry)

Having skied previously and lost my confidence I thought it best that this time I went skiing I book some private lessons in the hope to get my confidence back. I went for 2 days of the 4 hour one to one option. My instructor Ben was amazing, very patient, funny and knew every last inch of the resort. He told me he had been teaching there for 20 years which doesn’t surprise me as the teaching was impeccable and by the end of my lessons I felt a lot more comfortable on my skis. He even took me down part of a red which I never thought would happen! When we come back next year I will definitely be having further lessons and would recommend anyone visiting Val d’Isere do the same with ESF.

Forget the 300 km of pistes, the 1,900 m of vertical or the 10,000-hectare winter playground. Here, it’s all down to you as you launch yourself down the mountain and experience the pleasure that awaits...

Our family of 5 adults spent Christmas here again this year & would highly recommend it. Fantastic skiing opportunities for all levels .. fabulous local cuisine available in the many little restaurants and bakeries. Wonderful firework displays and ski gymnastics by the ESF instructors provided great entertainment on Christmas night. After a long days skiing I’d highly recommend Coco’s for the apres ski party! Happy hour ends at 4pm .. live music followed by a disco and table dancing is a must here!!
