In good company since 1933

The Swiss Ski School Flumserberg (official name until the integration of the official Swiss Snowboard School in 1995) was founded as a private corporation in the winter of 1933/34 and had just 2 to 3 ski instructors. Today, this multisports tourism establishment employs more than 120 people, making it the largest of its kind in Eastern Switzerland. Regular successes and awards on a national and international level make the school a consistent interregional player. The kids' activities, with the Swiss Snow Kids' Village and Bobo's Kids' Club, are in a class of their own in Switzerland.
So, both the Swiss Ski & Snowboard School Flumserberg and Swiss Snowsports celebrated their 75-year anniversary in 2008. 

 

For these reasons, we have checked our archives. We found many pictures and documents for your pleasure and entertainment.

Take part in our living history!

We would like to thank all instructors who gave part of their working lives to the Ski and Snowboard School. There have been so many experiences, anecdotes, stories and fun times with them. Unique characters such as Ernst Preisig, Paul Aggeler, Jüsti, Sepp and Toni Wildhaber, Emil Gmür, Trudi Bornhauser and Willi Beeler are simply unforgettable. Special thanks go out to our longstanding, ever-active staff Josy Rubli, Edi Reber, Geni Wildhaber and of course Fritz Kessler, who is truly one-of-a-kind. To them and all others who have not been named here, we dedicate this page. These memorabilias intend not only to elicit "awwws", but also to command respect for the efforts of the pioneers and their successors. Memories that include the most important people of all, our loyal guests. They deserve a special thank you.
