Ski Lessons in La Plagne: Everything You Need to Know

POSTED:

Ski Lessons in La Plagne

One of the best parts of a VIP SKI holiday is that everything can be organised before you arrive - including your ski lessons.

We've worked closely with Oxygène in La Plagne for many years and know their team exceptionally well. Whether you're learning to ski for the first time, returning after a break or looking to improve your technique, we'll help you choose the right lessons for every member of your group.

If you'd rather ski with ESF, that's absolutely fine too. We can arrange lessons with either school before you travel, making sure everything fits around your holiday.

Our partnership with Oxygène

Oxygène is our recommended ski school in La Plagne thanks to its excellent English-speaking instructors, small class sizes and friendly, confidence-building approach to teaching.

Guests staying at the Graciosa benefit from an especially close relationship. Oxygène lessons meet directly outside our ski room, making each morning simple and stress-free.

Our team work closely with the instructors throughout the week, so whether it's adjusting lesson levels, coordinating childcare or answering questions, help is always close at hand.

Exclusive children's lessons during peak weeks

During selected school holiday weeks, we run exclusive children's group lessons with Oxygène purely for VIP SKI guests staying at the Graciosa.

Unlike standard resort classes, these groups meet at the Graciosa each morning, creating a more relaxed start to the day and allowing children to ski alongside other VIP SKI guests.

These groups are available on selected peak weeks only and are offered for Polar Bear level and above.

Children's Group Lessons - £399 per child

  • Monday-Friday
  • 09:15-12:15
  • Maximum 8 children
  • Minimum 4 participants required
  • Exclusive to VIP SKI guests staying at the Graciosa
If fewer than four children book into a level, we'll discuss the available options before confirming your booking. This may include a small supplement or transferring into a suitable Oxygène group in resort.

Children skiing at beginner levels (Snowbears and Brown Bears) are usually better suited to Oxygène's standard beginner classes in the dedicated snow garden, as these shorter lessons are specifically designed for first-time skiers.

Lessons for every ability

Whether you're travelling as a family, couple or group of friends, we can arrange:

  • Children's group lessons
  • Adult group lessons
  • Private ski lessons
  • Snowboard lessons
  • Off-piste guiding
  • Specialist coaching
If you're unsure which option is right, our Alpine Account Managers can recommend the most suitable lesson based on your previous skiing experience.

Ski school and childcare

If your children are booked into Bear Cubs childcare, our nanny team works seamlessly with Oxygène instructors.

We'll make sure they're dressed, ready for the slopes and escorted to their lesson meeting point before collecting them afterwards for lunch or afternoon activities.
