Lessons are priced for 1 or 2 people and an hourly supplement of 7 euros is payable for each additional person, except where specified otherwise in the price table. Lessons of 3 hours or longer may be taken off piste with all the safety equipment suppled at no extra cost. If you would like off-piste lessons, please confirm this at the time of booking.

5 CHILD CARE NURSERY There are various crèche facilities in the different villages of La Plagne and information can be found at the tourist office website: CHILD CARE PRIVATE NANNIES There are various private nanny services operating in the resort many of which are English companies with British nannies working in resort. As nanny services are a personal preference between the parents and the nanny, we prefer to leave this service to the childcare professionals and we ll leave you to discuss personally with the nanny services to choose the one you feel is most appropriate for your child. Prices for a full time nanny for a week are approximately 700 to 800 for one child the ratios of children to nannies depend on the age of the children and also the charges made for additional children vary between the companies. Most companies will provide half day care as well but many will only accept full week bookings during the school holidays you ll need to speak to them yourself to work out the best plan.
