Ski school in Scheffau

Hi all

Hopefully somebody out there will have experience of the ski school in Scheffau, as the snow has started falling the wife is obviousy getting VERY excited :oops: and wants to know of anyone's experiences, good or bad.

Thanks in advance.

Hi There,
We used the ski school in Scheffau, two years ago, excellent tution, the children were very well taken care off, the ski school was at the top of the gondala, meals were taken in a special area of the restaurant next to the gondala. Some of the adults took private lessons with a canadian girl, married to one of the ski-school family, she was one of the best, learnt more in a few hours than all other lessons put together.

Can highly recommend the Ski school in Scheffau. My OH has used the canadian girl for the last 3 years on private lessons with great success, and has learnt more than the previous 3 years in group lessons. There is also an english guy, who is excellent. The schools top Austrian instructor is the area instructor of instructors if you'll forgive the grammar. He's brilliant and I have had 1-2-1 lessons with him for last 2 years. Only crticism I have is when I booked lessons for the first time a couple of year past, I booked for level 5, but ended up in a class that was still practicing traversing a blue on one ski. Schools explanation was that because it was march there wasn't much need for advanced lessons. However, they offered me 1-2-1 lessons for same price. Spent most of that evening emptying my pockets of snow. I now always try to book at least one session with him. I didn't really subscribe to the 'always have lessons' lobby, but now I'm firmly convinced you can always benefit from lessons, even just as a reminder. The school also do a Skiwelt tour. :D 8)

The best resort we have ever been to for top ski instructors. We have skied with instructors in Niederau, Sauze D'Oulx in Italy and Scheffau three times. Some intructors are better then other whereever you choose to ski but Scheffau is excellent. However, if you find your unhappy with your instructor, either because his english is not good enough or you are not improving ask to change to another instructor. 'If the pupil hasn't learnt the teacher hasn't taught. PS: We are in Scheffau to ski again from 9th-19th Jan '10
