We are thinking of arranging a couple of private ski lessons for our daughter. We are leaning towards either Sattelegg or Flumserberg, but are open to other suggestions in the ZH, SZ area (Brunni, Amden, etc).

Our daughter is almost 4, and can stop and turn pretty reliably. She is a cautios skier, and can easily manage a basic blue run, albeit slowly. She has limited expereince with lifts (although has used a magic carpet, button and pony lift on several occasions).

She is keen to try a private lesson, but we are slightly worried that the intensity might be a bit much, which is why we are keen to split this with someone else. We also think it might be a bit more fun with another kid or two.

We are pretty flexible with both times and days, and are happy for this to be during the week or at the weekend. It is also fine for the lesson to be in English or Swiss German.

So is there anyone out there with a kid who is new(ish) to skiing and wants to try and split a couple of private lessons? PM's are fine if you don't want to post here.

Actually a private lesson would be less intensive than a group lesson would be. In a group you're pressured to "keep up" where as in a private lesson the ski instructor can immediately point out problems to her quickly bringing her skills up to a higher level and she wont feel as if she's falling behind. If she's serious about learning that second kid or two might just get in the way and/or even become an embarrassment when mistakes are made.

We took lessons at Flumserberg, and our instructor from the SSS there was great, very friendly and genuinely happy young guy, which both puts you at ease and encourages learning. I've got his mobile number so if you want it pm mw.

hey PG, I didn't know u were in need to resort to kid's lessons

You didn't see me on the me on the oblivion that was the start of the run from the top cable car the. Funny thing was I saw the instructor giving a lesson at the bottom.... shame i wasn't at the top
