Surrounded by Alpine meadows and fresh mountain air, Braunwald becomes the perfect stage to push boundaries, take risks, and grow into the leader you’re meant to become.

Please note that the Spring 2026 friLeadership Camp will take place in Liddes (St. Bernard) instead of Braunwald.
Relais de Dranse - Liddes - St. Bernard
Our spacious, 2014 renovated chalet “Relais de Dranse” in Liddes is in a wonderfully quiet location on the Dranse, a source river of the Rhone, about 5 minutes below the pass road into the Aosta Valley. Equipped with ping pong, billiards, table football and a garden to romp around in, our chalet offers everything for a perfect get around. You will soon feel at home here. Lots of exercises, no traffic noise, no through traffic, absolutely ideal for relaxed language holidays in Valais!
This is a sample programme. Activities and excursions may change depending on weather and other factors beyond our control.
Programme Highlights
Shark Tank Challenge
Inspired by the famous TV show, participants work in teams to create their own business ideas. The week kicks off with fast, one-minute pitches, and the top projects are chosen by the students themselves. Over the following days, teams develop their concepts before presenting them to an audience. Creativity, teamwork, and an entrepreneurial spirit take centre stage.
Unconference
In this open discussion format, participants choose the topics themselves. Anyone can suggest ideas, and the group decides together which sessions will take place. This creates a dynamic exchange that encourages spontaneity, collaboration, and peer-to-peer learning.
Talent Show
At the end of the week, the stage belongs entirely to the participants. Whether it’s music, dance, comedy, or something completely different – they can showcase their talents, build confidence, and enjoy the applause of their new friends.
Helping with Meals
Teamwork doesn’t stop at projects – everyone also helps with lunch and dinner. Groups take turns preparing, serving, or clearing up, which further strengthens the sense of community.
Two-Week Stays
For participants staying for two weeks, the main activities like the Shark Tank Challenge, Unconference, and Talent Show remain – but with new teams, fresh ideas, and different discussion topics. In addition, excursions and certain afternoon activities change in the second week, ensuring a varied and exciting programme throughout their stay.
EXCURSIONS
Half-day excursions
Right after their language lessons and lunch, we take our students to one of the nearby attractive locations near St. Bernard camp, which might be:
Champex - a stunningly beautiful small village with a great fairytale-like lake
Salt mines in Bex may not sound way too attractive but we highly recommend holding onto our hand when we descend into the dark pit and the intricate labyrinth of the salt mines.
Col du St. Bernard - a famous historical pass which was hosting Napoleon and Hannibal in their respective time periods, it's a must-visit once you are in St. Bernard!
Adventure park La Fouly is a beautiful and quite physically engaging complex, we guarantee that our students will remember this one!
Full-day excursions
Aletsch glacier is possibly the most physically demanding excursion our company has to offer but mark our words - it is worth every drop of sweat. Once you get up there on the altitude of little more than 4100m, you will witness the true greatness our majestic Swiss nature has to offer.
Sion - a city less than an hour drive away from St. Bernard camp, it has a rich history with a fortress in the middle of the city. Definitely worth visiting and spending a couple of hours there.
The Aosta valley is a stunning full-day excursion location in Northern Italy, where our students can experience all the beauties the Italian lifestyle has to offer, including hiking, rafting and pizza for dinner in one of Aosta's worldwide famous restaurants.
Emosson Dam is an architectural masterpiece with stunning hiking tracks and breathtaking panoramic views.
