Description

Alpadia Language School combines a language trip, relaxation and unparalleled views of the Swiss countryside in the resort city of Montreux. During the summer, there is a language programme for school children. It is one of the most beautiful regions in the country, situated on the Swiss Riviera. Here the children can enjoy the mountain air, beaches and green lawns. A few steps away is the promenade of Lake Geneva. The centre of the school enjoys a breathtaking view of the mountains.

The school has spacious, bright classrooms and a common lounge. There is a canteen and a cosy cafeteria where students can have lunch after class. A gym is available for free use. The programme is built around an extensive language experience which includes not only lessons but also social and sports activities. In the afternoon the school also holds art and sports workshops. Optional activities include renting a mountain bike, water-skiing, designing a T-shirt or getting down a rope in an amusement park. An itinenery consists of a visit to Chillon Castle, a chocolate factory offers kids a chance to try the famous Swiss chocolate. The evenings are spent with your host families: you can explore the culture, watch French films and cook barbecue. One evening is dedicated to a cultural programme outing - a jazz music festival that takes place in the city.
