new ski addict, Evolution2 in Montchavin are very good, better than ESF but its such a small village if you use them you will be spotted!! Also having lesson in Montchavin menas that you spend the first 20-30 mins of your lesson on chair lifts. If you want a lesson and to get fantastic value from it I would book one in Belle Plagne. Potentially Plagne Centre to but with Belle Plagne its really easy to get back to and back to Montchavin.
IMO if you want to hide form Montchavin and also make sure you get great value from your lesson go Belle Plagne? 2 hour private out of Belle Plagne = 2 1/2 hours with the grumpy ESF guy in Montchavin

Hello again Fat Controller - I remember discussing lovely big dumps of snow with you last year! Thanks for the advice - will look up what's available in Belle Plagne, only 3 lifts and one quick run down the Arpette away! You do have a point about wasting time on chairlifts from Montchavin. Is there anyone particular in Belle Plagne you would recommend?
Are you heading in the la Plagne direction yourself this winter?
Cheers!

new ski addict, Hello again. Noboby I know of in Belle Plagne, sadly I think it will be a case of pot luck with ESF though we did stay in Belle Plagne in April and the kids did use ESF and they were ok. Some people staying where we were in Belle Plagne did have priavte lessons with ESF and they said they were great.
Now the washing line is back open we are staying on les Arcs this year. Going across 2 weeks today and again in March. 2 things important to me in skiing Paradski. Most important the washing line is open and second you can ski the whole way down to Montchavin. Top of Arpette the whole way down to Montchavin is still my favorite run  . Enjoy yourself.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hi New ski addict - you should try Oxygene in Plagne Centre and ask for either Ewan or Boris. Boris sorted my head out and my sister swears by Ewan.

I'd second what skim, says about Oxygene. We had two private lessons and two group lessons with Boris last year and would wholeheartedly recommend him.
The other instructors we met from Oxygene all seemed pretty focussed, and a couple in our group had used them for years with nothing but good things to report.
We did a two hour private session over lunchtime which saved a bit of money, and meant we didn't need to rush in the morning - would be ideal for you coming up from Montchavin.
Have fun.

Have you considered John Thomas of New Generation in Vallandry. One of the best teachers I have ever had, a ski instructor trainer and a nice guy to boot. It would also be quicker to get to than Belle Plagne or Plagne Centre, so long as you have the Paradiski pass.

Thanks for everyone's replies! Sorry I haven't been along to say so earlier, internet connection is v slow and annoying at the moment (BT are rubbish) I think Oxygene sounds a good idea; I saw the 2 hours over lunchtime slot on their website and thought it looked good value. May end up sharing a lesson with my OH's bro's girlfriend I think so will have to see what she thinks. TBH I'm really not sure my finances are up to anything more than ski hire this year... Thanks again anyway!

new ski addict, I don't know which part of La Plagne but Louisa Steiger is very good and works for the ESF - you could do a lot worse.

FAQ
) He was an ok instructor, but couldn't really be bothered to speak English to me when I was on my own in a big group of French beginners. I want someone who will explain to me exactly what I'm doing wrong and help me improve, rather than just saying 'copy me!'.
