Winter Camps in Braunwald: Where Skiing and Languages Meet in the Swiss Mountains

A week in Braunwald means 15 hours of skiing on sunny slopes combined with 12 hours of language lessons in small groups of 6 maximum. The secret? Our instructors teach both skiing AND languages. Perched above the sea of fog, in a car-free village accessible only by funicular, your children experience complete immersion where learning goes hand in hand with fun. Skiing in the morning, languages in the afternoon, excursions and lively evenings: a formula that has worked for years and that transforms the way children learn.

Language Camp Safety: What You Really Need to Know

Sending your child to a language camp is first and foremost a matter of trust. At friLingue, safety isn't just a box to tick on a form—it's the foundation everything else is built on.
