Verbier also has many shops and restaurants, from the most informal to the most sophisticated.
Verbier is located in the French part of Switzerland, 1 hour and 45 minutes from Geneva, 2 hours and 45 minutes from Zürich and 30 minutes from the Italian and French borders. It is an ideal location for an international winter camp in Switzerland.
Before arriving in Verbier, the campers will spend a full board magic night in Geneva, capital city of Switzerland where they will witness the charm of Swiss Christmas and winter!
Our evening winter camp programs are tailored to meet the requirements of our students. Our groups participate in an activities program for the entire winter camp from 8pm until 9pm and our older groups from 8pm until 9:45pm, with bedtime at 10pm.
We offer many activities including ice skating, team challenges, quizzes, disco night, game competitions, dining out in a Swiss restaurant, cinema night, campfires, torchlight walk, mountain BBQ, nightline, bean bag fashion show, dragons’ den and a final prize-giving celebration to finish each week.
During the last night of winter camp, all of our students will be participating in the prize giving night. Since 8 pm, our staff will be rewarding those campers who reached some particular criteria. A slideshow will be accompanying the night and entertaining the parents who have the opportunity to participate in the event.
This is also the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to the new friends met and the monitors during your time in winter camp.
In addition to the prizes received, at the end of the evening, to every winter camp student will be handled the language certificate (if attending the language course) and the ski or snowboards level of progression certificate.
