This is a good resort to visit as a day visitor from Zurich or elsewhere . The lifts are good and the slopes are great for intermediates. I wouldn't recommend staying in Flumserberg as it is not your normal atmospheric Swiss village but it is highly recommended for a day visit. This is very much a resort used by locals but you will have no problems getting around as a foreigner. Flumserberg also tends to have better snow than the surrounding resorts so I end up going there often over weekends.
In the afternoons the schools bring the kids up for ski lessons so it can become pretty crowded on the lower slopes; so go early if you don't like ski snakes. As one of the earlier reviewers said, the Swiss like to eat at 1200 sharp so if you go to any of the restaurants at 1400 you have no problem getting seating and service.
