The trip was very organized, bus took us to Interlaken from Zurich then the instructor; Mr. West took us from there to get our clothes and equipments which were all included in the package. Everything was perfect, West is amazing! He is very skilled and friendly. It is the perfect experience for a family with no previous experience in skiing.

Full day tour inc stops in Interlaken and Grindelwald. The ski lesson itself is very thorough and informative - I feel like it’s very worthwhile. You don’t really get time for lunch though so I would recommend packing lunch and take water up the mountain with you as you get hot and thirsty.
