"Small group" can mean very different things depending on who you ask. In a big class it can mean ten people and one instructor shouting from the front. Here it means something specific and unmovable: one to four riders, and that's the ceiling.
Four is a limit, not a target
I cap every lesson at four because past that the teaching stops working. With four riders I can watch each of you take a run, name the one thing holding you back, and get to the next person before the first has cooled off. Add a fifth and someone is always standing still. So the number never creeps — four is the wall.
Most lessons are smaller than that anyway. A couple, a parent and one kid, two friends: those are the everyday shapes, and they're the ones where progress is fastest.
One flat price, split between you
The price is per lesson, not per head, and it covers up to four riders (Season 2026/27):
- One hour — CHF 110
- Two hours — CHF 200
- Four hours — CHF 385 (the one I recommend)
- Full day, six hours — CHF 500
Come as four friends and you each pay a quarter of that, with a coach watching only your group. That's why a small group is the best value on the mountain: private attention at a shared price.
Same level, mixed levels, or a big gap
Same-level groups share the most class: four riders who all link turns can chase one line all morning, and that's where a group flies. But mixed levels work too — it's just a bit more juggling. When a correction helps everyone I bring you together; when it doesn't, each of you works on your own thing while I rotate my attention.
If the gap is really wide — a first-timer alongside someone carving reds — I'll say so up front and recommend booking two separate lessons so nobody's bored or nobody's scared. It's a recommendation, not a rule: if you'd rather ride together, we make it work.
What the small size actually buys you
- No queue. Four riders means four turns come round fast — you're riding, not watching.
- Real feedback, by name. I know which of you drops the back shoulder and which rushes the edge change.
- Video for everyone. I film through the session and send each rider their clips afterwards; you fix faster when you can see it.
