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.

I would recommend Oxygene for adult ski school. Our instructor Ivano was an excellent instructor and he progressed everyone in our small group from skiing down easy blue runs on day 1 to confidently skiing down a black run on our final day. I would definitely recommend Oxygene.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Morzine. Our 2 young children (aged 3&5) had their first private lesson with Tom-who was a well experienced lovely guy! I would highly recommend this company! Tom had a great approach towards our boys and clearly instructed them through out their lesson (from putting on their skis to checking their clothing and finally ensuring they learnt, listened and had fun!) Thank you to all at BASS!! online booking was informative and well instructed!! Excellent service!! From Laura, Glen, Tom & Fyn McCready

British Ski & Snowboard School in Tignes & Val d'Isere.Offering ski and snowboard lessons for all levels and all ages. From 3 year old children, to advanced coaching and off-piste guiding!
Reviewed By F5688MWluket
I visited Tignes with a large group of friends last week - All of which were intermediate/advanced skiers, and when compared to me only having had one lesson at the snow dome prior to flying out, it was safe to say I was a beginner. I met with Tom on my first day of skiing for a private 2.5 hr morning lesson and wasn't expecting to come away as confident as I did. He was so professional, gave great advice and just an all round great teacher/instructor. We started off going down from the half way point of some green runs to assess how easily I could stop and how much control I had etc. Once I felt more confident with stopping/turning we then went down some blues. By the end of the lesson I was parallel skiing going down some fast blues, with Tom right behind me. After the lesson had ended, I rejoined my group of friends and felt confident going down every blue in Tignes / Val D'isere and even ended the holiday on the third day going down 3 red runs. I would 100% recommend a private lesson as you get the instructors full attention and they can really get to work on your technique. Also cant recommend Tom enough - He took me from someone who had never ski'd on real snow before, to going down blues and reds and all from one x 2.5 lesson. Cheers Tom!
