Year-Round Sessions in the Alps
Verbier International School welcomes students aged 11 to 17 during winter, spring, and summer breaks. Families can choose between boarding and day programs, depending on what works better for them. In winter and spring, skiing and snowboarding take center stage with professional ESSV instructors, while afternoons bring pool sessions, climbing walls, yoga, tennis, and torchlit evening walks. Summer unlocks five hundred kilometers of hiking trails, mountain biking, via ferrata, golf, horseback riding, ziplining, and wakeboarding nearby.
Costs at Verbier International School
Each week costs 3,500 francs and covers classes, activities, meals, and accommodation. Winter offers two sessions: a two-week program from December 21 to January 3 and a one-week session from February 14 to 21. Spring runs for two weeks from March 29 to April 11 (dates for 2026). Summer spans five consecutive weeks from June 29 to August 2, which families can book separately or combine as needed, letting parents align the camp with their vacation plans.
Business Track for Teens
Alongside its active camp, Verbier International School runs a summer business and leadership track during the same dates. Mornings focus on entrepreneurship and teamwork workshops, afternoons shift to project challenges and case studies, while evenings refine social skills through themed activities. This format appeals especially to older students thinking about their careers, as it blends intellectual challenge with mountain recreation. The terms remain the same—ages 11 to 17, day or boarding options, 3,500 francs per week with everything included.
Verbier’s Infrastructure
The village transforms into an activity hub each summer, offering trail networks, golf courses, and Centre Sportif with its courts, climbing walls, pool, and gyms. Winter reveals the 4 Vallées ski area—nearly a hundred lifts, four hundred kilometers of runs, and Matterhorn views from Mont Fort’s summit. The Val de Bagnes region stretches twenty-five kilometers to the Mauvoisin dam within Switzerland’s largest nature reserve, where locals speak French but English and German circulate freely, creating a multicultural atmosphere that becomes part of the adventure.
