I just spent a great week skiing in La Plagne where I had 5 days of group lessons with Daniel. He was an amazing instructor who helped me further develop my skiing abilities on many different slopes and under varied conditions and he knew the area very well. He is fun too! At the same time my kids were in classes with Nans and Manu and loved it too, so a super week all around, thank you Oxygen!

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.

We had an amazing week with Christophe, patient, calm, funny and hugely positive (even when I was getting annoyed with myself). We booked 5 days of 2/3 hours with Christophe taking myself from novice to actually being able to ski and run down blues with ease by the end of it. Taking my partner from a nervous intermediate to comfortably running down reds. Throughout every session Christophe was great fun to be around, he completely understood what we both needed to do and how to push us on. Without doubt the best thing we could have done, I would happily go back to La Plagne to have more lessons with Christophe to take us from our varying intermediate levels onto advanced (hopefully!)

I booked ski lessons for my other half who had never been skiing before and myself who had not skied for over 10 years. The initial communication was quick and efficient and made everything so easy. Clarinda was prompt with any response and explain any questions I had. A friend recommended Sweet Snowsports and I am so glad they did as the whole holiday was made complete by having the right instructor who knew the area and immediately understood the levels we were at. Les taught Sunny (my Fiance) so brilliantly and I am so grateful! His calm and patience ensured that by the end of our trip she could ski confidently. It really made our trip. Thank you so much Les and Sweet Snowsports looking forward to seeing you again!

Another great experience with like minded people. Si always seems to find people that get on and ride well together whilst having a great laugh! If you feel your having one of those ‘off days’ there’s always someone around to lift and encourage you ! Always been a great way to make new friends and you’ll find yourself bumping into year after year.. surely says something! Everyday there was a new adventure where Si would put the skills you’ve learnt on previous courses into practice and taking you places you’d miss out on otherwise. Some great new experiences this year. Thanks everyone involved in making this an epic trip! Can’t wait till the next one...

Welcome to Oxygene Les Menuires, our brand new ski school in the Three Valleys. New for winter 2017/18, you can now ski and snowboard with Oxygène in Les Menuires. Previously out-shadowed by its fellow Three Valleys neighbours, this humble yet friendly resort is rising in popularity year on year. Speaking of heights – if you’ve got the head for it – reach for its top run, which towers above the rest at an over 2,700m. Just like our other resorts, we provide a variety of high-quality private and group lessons and activities in English and French, which are sure to delight.

I had three terrific private lessons with Francois, including an off piste morning in the Vallon du Lou. My instructor was very flexible and responsive, really pushed me and I think my skiing has improved. They have flexible start times and locations. Highly recommended.

La Rosiere is a ski resort in the Haute Tarentaise, it's located at 1850 metres on a south facing ridge with skiing down to 1176m from a maximum height of 2800m. I love skiing here and have skied here since 2000, IMO there's something for everyone. It's great for families, there are excellent kid's facilities, with a creche and dedicated children's learning areas. The resort is compact with lifts at the centre of the village and at the hamlet of Les Eucherts, virtually all of the pistes are south or southwest facing so it's great for skiing on sunny days, the ski area is linked with La Thuile in Italy to form the Espace San Bernado, all ski-able on a single lift pass. La Thuile is completely different with mostly north facing slopes and more tree cover. In all there is over 160kms of pistes and masses of off-piste, with one of the best snow records in France, regularly amongst the top five resorts for snow-cover. For me, the attraction of La Rosiere is that it's terrific value, lift passes are much better value that the mega resorts nearby, and it doesn't cost a fortune to eat and drink on the mountain. Above all it's the friendliness of the villagers, many of whom have become good friends, that keeps us returning year after year.
