Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Can anyone recommend any ski schools/ instructors in this area? I’m done some Google searches but the choice of ski schools in Lech seems limited and ££££ for a private lesson.

Sorry, that's the way it is.

Thanks for your reply. Do you recommend any of the schools in particular or are they all of a good standard?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Both the Lech ski school and alpincenter Lech are good. Alpincenter Lech is a bit more cutting edge, and has a better rep for off piste / serious skiing. Both have high entry standards: if you get a younger instructor they are likely to be very strong technically.
As far as specific instructors in Lech are concerned, I have used and can recommend harumi kumazaki, if she's still at alpincenter - superb skier and good teacher too. Otherwise I'm afraid I've mostly used pure guides, and I am not sure that's quite what you're after.
Guiding / instruction in the arlberg is, regrettably, a little bit steep (not dissimilar to the terrain in that respect!).

Sorry, I can't - when I worked there the Arlberg Ski School (of which the Lech ski school is a branch [90% sure anyway]) was a bit of a factory, and it was a bit of a lottery whether you got a good instructor or a newbie. If there's a smaller school, I think you'd have a higher chance of getting of local/long term resident instructor, who would normally be better (more experienced at least).

You can get one hour private lessons at lunchtime that are a bit cheaper than throughout the rest of the day. Have used that a couple of times for the kids when we've been there. Enjoy yourselves. I just love the place.

boabski, that sounds exactly what i'm after, do you remember which ski school you organised this through? Cant see much on their websites but i can have a phone around.
The lessons I found were all around 4-4.5 hours so actually probably warrant the high price tag! I'm more than happy with 1-2 hour lessons.
Also glad to here you love Lech, i'm really looking forward to getting out there - roll on March! If you have any recommendations on runs/restaurants/apres would be great to hear them

Pretty sure lech ski school is not a branch of the arlberg school-Richard Walter's death star hasn't got that far (yet)! One is governed by tirolerskilehrerverband, one by vorarlberg, so unlikely they'll ever merge.
lech ss does not have as much ski instructor turnover as the arlberg, and instructors are typically more experienced- very few first seasoners - although still think alpincenter is better.
Andy thurner is worth a look too.
