However, Carré Neige insurance is available at a supplement if required - at 2.80 Euros per person per day. This does not replace proper holiday insurance but will provide some assistance in the case of an accident on the piste. Please let us know when you book if you require this insurance as it cannot be added afterwards. Please note this insurance is not sold recommended by Ski Amis and you must make your own decision as to its suitability to cover your needs full details of the cover provided are available on their website at http://www.carreneige.com/en/ Ski Schools Oxygene Ski School Oxygene Ski School are an internationally renowned ski school who believe that winter spts are f everyone - with patient and friendly staff who built the school s reputation on the basis of excellent lessons focusing on a fun teaching method.
