SKIING AND INTENSIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING IN THE SAINT BERNARD, VALAIS

Location:

The St. Bernhard Ski & Snowboard Camp takes place at the cosy Relais de Dranse chalet, located in Saint Bernard beneath the Aosta Valley. Shared dormitory-style accommodation keeps costs low yet gives the kids a chance to socialize, and there is enough on-site entertainment to keep everyone amused.

School Info:

The friLingue group welcomes 1000 youngsters aged between 8 and 17 to its accredited summer and winter camps each year. A diverse range of languages, including English, German, and French, allows participants to hone their linguistic skills amid jaw-dropping surroundings. These fun-filled camps attract a multicultural crowd, with international alumni coming from all corners of the globe. Every one-week camp has an emphasis on safety, nature, immersion, and fun. Shared accommodation helps foster new friendships, and a limit of six students per class allows for a personalized approach.

Winter Program:

The one-week winter programme consists of 15 hours of ski or snowboard time and 12 hours of language classes—or, for the non-language learners out there, you can opt for a pure skiing programme instead. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, students rest their weary legs and jump on an excursion instead. And in the evenings, a rotating roster of exciting group activities keeps all the kids on their toes. A minimum stay of one week is required, although parents can enrol their children for longer if they please. Accommodation is available in the friLingue’s chalet with bedrooms from 4 to 8 persons and separate bathrooms on each floor.
