Skiing from Zurich
A friend is working temporarily in Zurich, and his family are joining him
during the half term school holidays. He has two daughters (7 and 9) who have skied before and want to ski again. Since their father will be working and the mother does not ski, what are their options? Can anyone suggest the nearest region to Zurich (access by bus/train) where the mother could take the children and enrol them in a ski school? Aneasy commute is very important. regards Paul |

There are a number of relatively small resorts within an hour or so of Zurich, but I'd suggest that somewhere like Flumserberg, which is just a little more than that by train (sbb.ch gives timetables). Train links directly with ski lifts, which may be important to you. It's a charming little resort, with a good range of skiing, and high enough to be pretty reliable, snow-wise, through the season. Ski schools are good, from what I've seen, and it rarely gets so busy as to be problemmatice with lift queues. http://www.flumserberg.ch will give more detail. |
