I may be stating the obvious here, but having surprised our daughter with a ski trip for her 30th birthday, we firstly had to make sure that she could book that week off work!! Luckily our son-in-law helped us organise everything, including slyly getting hold of her passport so we could have the details for the Advanced Passenger Information and making sure their yearly travel insurance hadn't expired.

Good luck with your plans - brilliant idea!

Is the train into Moutiers a possibility for you?

Enjoy yourself ATOO - I have PM'd you

The gondola journey is probably less than 10 minutes - but it stopped so many times when we were on it that it felt much longer! I would recommend going over to the Warth runs - although not all were open as we were so early in the season. As well as W4 blue, there were a couple of black runs down to the cafe near the Salober Jet chair. We also encountered the Schaukel Falken chair with some rather nice cruisy blues and reds, but if you want to get off the chair at the mid-point, make your mind up quickly!

The new Auenfeldjet link to Warth is now open and we used it last week. We only managed once to get all the way over there or back without it stopping however and clearly there are a few teething troubles to sort out. The blue run in Lech down to the link has now become a mix of progressing beginners and fast experts who can't wait to get over to Warth it seems! Once over in Warth, it is an ok red run off the gondola but quite a tricky red back down to the gondola. So early beginners beware! Our favourite cruisy run in Warth was W4 down to a very nice cafe.
The skiers piling off the ski buses coming into Lech now seem to be heading for the link to Warth rather than into the Rufikopf cable car.

Jastem and Mattski_score only have 3 days/sleeps left to wait! :)

I am quite calm and not panicking! Packing will commence once the woofie thing has gone to kennels tomorrow afternoon!

Yes - excellent tuition in English.

For ski tuition I would recommend Masterclass. If they don't also teach boarding, I am sure they can advise who to approach.
