Let it snow! Students make the most of the last days of winter at Champittet ski camp

Mixing sport, stunning scenery and downhill thrills, skiing is one of the best ways to experience the Alps in all their glory. At Collège Champittet, we provide many opportunities throughout the winter for our students to partake in this cherished Swiss pastime, including our eagerly awaited ski camps!

In March, our students in grades 7 to 12 headed to the Sport Ferien Resort in Fiesch for an action-packed week of winter fun. While daily skiing was at the heart of our programme, there was also plenty of time for our students to swim in the resort’s pool, practise indoor sports in the gymnasium or play team games in the evenings.

With the nearest ski lifts only 15 minutes away, we made the most of our week with skiing sessions every morning and afternoon. Swiss Ski School (ESS) certified trainers were also at hand to give ski lessons. Between the professional guidance and daily practice with classmates in groups, our young skiers were building confidence and perfecting their technique in no time!

During the week, our campers not only hit the slopes but also deepened their friendships through shared fun and games, cosy meals at the Berghaus restaurant, conversations around the fireplace, and the delightful after-ski “Boom” dance held on the last night. 

Our skiers returned with stronger bonds and renewed energy for their studies, as well as incredible memories of their week in the mountains of Canton Valais. We are already looking forward to next year’s ski camp!
