Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

BellePlagne - Advice on Ski Schools Please

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I have been lucky enough to book a family holiday in BellePlagne for the last week of March next year. My wife and I are experienced skiers but my son in law (age 50) and our grandson (age 6) are both total beginners.
Can anyone recommend a ski school in BellePlagne or is there just the ESF? Does anyone know which ski school Crystal use?
Any advice would be gratefully received!

Check out Oxygene and Lime Snowsports. I haven’t used either, but have heard good reports.

You should get recommendations from members with personal experience.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks for the reply@Old Fartbag, I’ve looked at the Oxygene site, looks good.
Don’t know wether to book all day lessons for the 6 year old, complete with ‘Lunch Club’ or just mornings, any ideas?

@Sonic the Skier, It is worth a Google Search - “Ski School Belle Plagne Snowheads”.

I think it may involve them sending a minibus to pick you up....worth asking them before you commit.

As for how long - That’s hard to call, as it depends on your six year old. If they are a sociable, “Eveready Bunny”, used to being active all day and ok being away from you...Then they should be fine; Otherwise they will be tired and have had enough by lunchtime.

The one thing you don’t want to do, is make them miserable, as that will make you miserable and put them off skiing. Warm, comfortable and happy is the way to go - and that is a bit “Suck it and See”. Maybe ask the ski school for advice, as they will have seen it all.

We used Oxygene in Belle Plagne and they were fantastic with our daughter and friends son, both came on leaps and bounds with their English speaking instructors. At the child’s age of 6 they only went for the mornings as they found lessons quite tiring as they tend to be in small groups so cover a lot of ground….am sure the 50 year old would manage all day though..lol
