Ski school in Belle Plagne

Can anyone recommend a nice ski school in Belle Plagne please? For a 4.5 year old who can ski but probably still needs to be on the nursery slopes, and a 7 year old who can confidently ski reds and wants to start learning tricks and jumps after watching the Winter Olympics!

We’ve been to Belle Plagne three times and always use ESF.

Every instructor has been lovely and very encouraging with my children.

We did ski school the first year and then switched to individual lessons the last two years. It’s a lot more expensive but we needed less time in lessons and my kids learned very quickly.

With your age ranges I’d think about one to one lessons for your youngest and then group lessons for the older if money is a factor.

We found afternoon lessons were sometimes cheaper so that’s worth considering too.

Thanks, I’ll look at ESF. Money isn’t a factor, I just want them to have fun and learn.

Our children always came back from the lessons very happy and made good progress.

Enjoy the trip!

I’ve used ESF many times and have had mixed experiences: some fantastic instructors and some quite shouty ones! So it depends.. Oxygene are also worth checking out.
