Course description

In our friLingue Ski Camp, you learn English in small groups of 6 participants. After the language course, it's off to the slopes: carving, short turns or stem turns? Together is the most fun!

At the Braunwald Language & Ski Camp we learn English for 12 hours a week. Then it's off to the slopes! We spend 15 hours a week exploring the Braunwald ski area. And when we are tired, a glance at the Tödi is enough to pause for a moment, catch our breath and let the snow fun continue!

After an intensely long day, we have a delicious homemade dinner from our typical friLingue kitchen and then we continue with the evening program.

The camp in Braunwald takes place in our Adrenalin Backpacker Hostel. Here we have plenty of space: three large terraces, single, double, 4-bed, 6-bed and multi-bed rooms and a bar with syrup and other non-alcoholic delicacies! There is also a table football and a billiards table. The child-friendly and sunny ski area is a 2-minute walk away.

Braunwald is car-free and lies on a sunny terrace high above the sea of fog. The village can be reached by car from Zurich in just over an hour. Or you can use the accompanied train ride from Zurich HB with departure on Sunday afternoon.

The friLingue Ski Camp includes:
- 12 hours of language lessons per week in average groups of 6 (alternatively 10 hours of ski lessons in the morning)

"I liked the camp because the teaching was tailored down to my language level."

Bernadette Brieskorn , student from Switzerland

The class was size was small and that way I received individual support. The English teachers were not native speakers as promised in the leaflet. But they tried their best. Some comments made by the teachers in class were not child appropriate, i.e. commenting about her period. The location was amazing and recommended to everybody.
The walk to the Oberblegisee, laser tag, gym and painting were all fun activities and the children loved it. But the after lunch break was far too long since the kids had to waste time for over three hours.
Housing was good and the food was excellent and had a good variety.
Overall an interesting experience. Thank you!!
