If you are aiming to have lessons and are a beginner then there is no need to pay for a lift pass as you wont be using any of the lifts - I'm still learning and I try and go to smaller places where I don't have to pay for all the lifts when I just need to use the kiddy slopes - for example in the past I have gone to flumserberg and not paid for a lift pass as we just used the learner area which is free - I would imagine the learning/kinder areas at most places are free unless you need to take a gondola up to the actual learning areas
