Which ski school in Grindelwald?

Morning All,

Family Wu are off skiing soon to Grindelwald. The two younger wu's are learning as is Louis, Mother Wu can already ski competently. We'd like to have the children attend some school in Grindelwald and since there is a large choice and we've never been there before we'd like to ask for any recommendations the EF'ers may be able to offer. I have searched the forum but didn't find any specific answers.

Any recommendations? Children are aged 5 and 7, both have had around 8 hours of private instruction at Flumserberg, the elder can now go into the Group 2 at Flumserberg, younger is still at beginner level (as am I)

Cheers

Thanks Swissotter, the only thing is, it seems that Buri only offer Private lessons - I didn't make it very clear in my first post, I was really looking for geoup lessons for our children but if we do decide to opt for the private then Buri looks good.

Cheers

Re: Which ski school in Grindelwald?

Hi Louis,

I realize your post is from last year, but I would like to say that our experience with the Swiss Ski and Snowboard School in Grindelwald was not very good. Our four year old daughter was in a very crowded class, it was not appropriate for her level, and we felt that she was not properly supervised. If you have already gone on your trip, I would be interested in your take on the school you used. I was thinking about looking into the Felix school. Any advice would be helpful....I hope you have (or had) a great time!

Hi, we had a very good experience with our young children last year with the ski school Altitude. If we go back to Grindelwald we will return to them. Sophie
