"The camp is surrounded by mountains (so I had beautiful views).
Rooms are fine, staff members are really nice. Meals are different than in my country but they are OK. I spent three weeks of great fun. I met many nice people, both the staff members and the students.
I visited so many interesting places (like chcocolate factory) and in the same time I made my French better. Swiss Alps are so beautiful that I fall in love with them."

ALL YEAR ROUND CAMP - FRENCH or GERMAN 
Study FRENCH or GERMAN 
Located in the Western part of Switzerland, about 90 minutes from Geneva, you will discover the small village of Les Sciernes in the Swiss Pre-Alpes. 
Les Sciernes is a typical, charming Swiss village - clean and very safe, a few houses in the area have sheep grazing in the yard. There are a couple of hotels, few shops and restaurants, a doctor's office - all surrounded by beautiful alpine scenery. 
During the Winter months, Switzerland is truly a winter wonderland, which has to be experienced, to be fully appreciated. The winter school offers the perfect opportunity to combine work and play: intensive language lessons in the morning, are followed by skiing or snowboarding in the afternoons, in the Gstaad Ski Region.
Our course is designed to ensure that students enjoy their language classes as much as they enjoy the rest of the course program, so classroom activities are therefore varied, involve tasks or games that make the learning process interesting and fun. 
The student accommodation is located within the school building with the first floor being the girls accommodation and the second floor for the boys. Students share shower rooms and toilets which are located on each floor.
