Guided Skiing - Kandersteg
Activity overview
Oeschinensee is a great place for beginners or to warm up and help you get back into skiing. If you have professional lessons booked, your guide will help you get there and if needed, join the lesson as well to help out the instructor with any weaker members of the group. After the lesson, they can help the group to focus on what they have learnt as the day goes on. Professional lessons are not essential for this activity, providing that your group all know how to ski safely.
