   I’ve found skiing in Switzerland to be less expensive than in the US. In the past 2 years I’ve skied in Zermat, Les Diablerets and Portes du Soleil and stayed in Grindelwald and Murren. I did not rent skis but I think rentals are less expensive than in the US. Lift tickets average about $40 per day (for skiing all-day on glaciers and hundreds of trails) in March, probably not much more expensive in January. The one expensive lift might be the railway to the top of the JungfrauJoch. Inexpensive places to stay are Downtown Lodge (in city center): and Mountain Hostel (adjacent to lifts): At all hotels and the Sports Center people speak English. It should be no problem finding an English speaking instructor. There’s more info at (in case you haven’t seen this site): One more thing, the food at the ski lodges is about the same price as in US resorts (about $10-$18 for lunch) but the quality is much better.

   If you ski in Grindelwald, go to Burri-Sports, there you have skirental and english speaking instructors, ask for alex, he is an oz and really good istructor. I dont know the prices for rental, but in general it is cheaper then in the states, australia or new zealand.
   In depense how old you are, there are diferent places to check, some good snowbars for exemple, like “Muni-Bar” which is on the slope back to village from first, which is one mountain of grindelwald, it is also already close to the village, so you can enjoy a few drinks, without still ski far….
   Then in the village is a bar called “espresso-bar” where are also a lot of locals which can tell you wehr to go. Then downstairs from the espresso-bar is the mescalero for later on, in the early evening it is a mexican Restaurant, later kind of a disco….
   There are more nice bars around the place to check, like just over the street from the espresso-bar in the hotel eiger upstairs, with some really good housemade burgers, or a snowshoe-tour at night-time with brunners outdoorshop, which you can also find on the mainstreet, with a hotwine-stop, or sometimes even with a cheese fondue in a little house outside the village… many things to do in a lovely place, you did a really good choice with grindelwald, myself was spending two years there aa a skiinstructor, then i was one year in zermatt, now in portes du soleil….
   For prices you just go to the grindelwald homepage, I think there you can find them..
   hope i could help you..
