Winter Camps are very popular in Switzerland. Discover our selection of the Best Winter Camps in Switzerland.
The well-established camps are located in some of the best ski resorts in Switzerland, offering spectacular surroundings and close to international airports. Our selection of the best winter camps in Switzerland offer a very international student environment paired with a unique choice of snow sports (ski and/or snowboard lessons).
Ideal Location
Switzerland is in the center of the Alps and counts some of the world’s most iconic mountains, the biggest glaciers, and the highest peaks in Europe over 4000 metres. Ski resorts are some of the biggest and most exclusive in the world. In Switzerland you can ski from one valley to the next, there are trams, cable cars, and chair lifts through each valley, and you can hook these lifts together to cover a lot of territory. In some of the larger ski areas, you could ski all day without ever riding the same lift twice.
Outstanding Reputation
Switzerland is the home of some of the world’s finest and most prestigious boarding schools. Swiss boarding schools, while being expensive compared to other countries, are renowned for their very high reputation and academic excellence. Students come from all over the world to study in a truly international and safe environment.
International Environment
With over 100 international schools in Switzerland, there is a very high concentration of international education, for a fairly small country of only 8 million people. Parents whose children study in Switzerland appreciate the safe learning environment, the high academic standards, the international and cultural diversity, the language focus and the top extracurricular program.
