Recommendation to ski beginner?

My wife and I just started to ski this winter. We went to brunni and braunwald. We skied only for four days until now. Brunni's slope was good fit for us, but it has only drag lifts, it makes us stressful. I enjoyed on the blue slope in braunwald, but still it is too short and also taking gondola is hassle. We wanted to ride a chair lift, so went up to the red slope in braunwald. It was first time to red slope... And as you expected, it was disaster... we had to walk down(almost lik body sledging) at the steepest part... It was too much for us.

Now, I'm looking for a resort with long blue slope with chair lift. I heard flumserberg can be a good option, but it is bit expensive. With snow and ride, it costs more than 70CHF, with that money maybe we can only ride some blue slopes... So, I'm thinking one of stoos, hoch-ybrig or klewenalp.

According to stoos's web-site it has only red runs on fronalpstock, but someone recommend it is good for beginner... how is it?

Any recommendation or advise?

Thanks in advance.

I think Hoch ybrig might suit you the best..its cheap to go there using snow n rail...there are 2 long blue slopes if I remember correctly ( on in the middle lift and one of the right most lift)..and both of them have chair lifts..Flumserberg is good as well..and most of the red slopes there are actually not that steep..
