Les Elfes International in Switzerland

Les Elfes International winter, autumn, summer & spring camps for boys and girls aged 6 to 17

At Les Elfes, our winter and summer camps offer much more than just activities and experiences. We introduce skills that last a lifetime, such as communicating with others without a phone or laptop, understanding the values of living in a community away from the familiar environment of home or school. Of course, learning a new activity such as mountain biking or climbing, skiing and snowboarding, has considerable advantages. Away from the snow or away from the main activities, there are gains to be made from our tailored leadership and development programmes, but having a break from the school cycle and putting fun, creativity and excitement into everyday life is where our camps come in.

Les Elfes International winter, autumn, summer & spring camps for boys and girls aged 6 to 17

Since 1987, Les Elfes International has been offering holiday camps in Verbier for children and teenagers aged 6 to 17.

For 10 months, around 5,000 students from all over the world come to Verbier to experience a holiday that combines the discovery and practice of new sports with the learning and improvement of foreign languages. The sunny plateau on which Verbier is located guarantees an exceptional climate in both winter and summer. Our two buildings, one for boys and one for girls, located next to the Sports Centre, allow us to offer charm and comfort to our young guests.

During the summer, from June to August, we offer 2, 3 or 4-week sessions. Students from 6 to 17 years old are fully immersed in an international environment and can participate in language courses, numerous outdoor activities, sports and excursions in Verbier or in the region. We offer more than 40 different activities such as climbing, mountain biking, hanging trails, wakeboarding, paragliding, basketball, walking, swimming, ice skating, tennis, golf, horse riding and more! To satisfy the many children who return each year, we offer new activities each summer such as E-Bike, Zorb football, Touch Rugby, Surfing, Skydiving, Zip-Line among others.  

The winter camps run from the beginning of December to the end of April. Les Elfes offers different sessions, usually of 1 and 2 weeks for girls and boys aged 6 to 17. Our students can combine winter sports (skiing and snowboarding) with activities such as excursions or Après Ski games. Language courses are also available as an option. Skiing and snowboarding lessons are given by qualified instructors.

Outdoor activities such as climbing, hanging trail, mountain biking or hiking to name a few, will be complemented by leadership and speaking workshops.

Each year we host some 5000 students from over 70 different countries. Our camp is also a fantastic tool for raising your child's environmental awareness and responsibility. We develop activities such as the study of the Ecosystem, sustainable development or tree planting. Each year we introduce new personal enrichment workshops into our programmes, some examples of which are: Leadership, Career Guidance, Mountain, Fitness and Nutrition, First Aid Training and Etiquette.

In addition, we provide our campers with a solid foundation for personal development by involving them in conferences and various team-building activities.

Safety is the most important element for the Elfes. From wake-up to bedtime, during and after activities, children are under the constant supervision of our staff to ensure maximum enjoyment in a safe environment.  

At Les Elfes, we offer adventure activities based on safe and well established professional practices! In addition, we encourage children to develop personally and explore their own identity. We are pleased to see that the weeks spent on our campus help students discover their true potential, improve their self-confidence and help them identify their strengths! There is a lot that can be taught outside the classroom!

Day camps

Throughout the year, the Elfes also offer full-day camps from 8 am to 10 pm for children aged 6 to 17. Campers who are already staying in the resort or in the region are dropped off at the camp in the morning, ready to take ski/snowboard lessons (in winter) or language lessons (in summer) and participate in outdoor activities. The programme includes meals, optional afternoon activities, team games, campfires, etc.

We will be happy to welcome your children as day campers or as residential campers! Please contact us for more details.
