Field trips for schools – Switzerland

From the beginning of May until the end of October, Les Elfes offers 7 different field trips to its privately owned campus in la Tzoumaz (Verbier-North) & Crans-Montana.

Our campuses are located in the French speaking part of Switzerland, 1 hour and 45 minutes from Geneva, and 30 minutes from the Italian and French borders.

Focus on educational component

Field trips do not always get the right consideration regarding the educational component they bring to students, but field trips actually bring a lot of various positive and good skills:

Adventure Sports

Personal development, social component and sports

Social Component & Team Building
Students will learn how to live together in a big group, possibly also with students from other schools, from other countries and from other cultures. Team spirit within a group is increased by an “out of classroom experience”

Sports
Students will learn new exciting sports. Students will rapidly familiarise themselves with the materials. They will keep these skills for the rest of their lives.

Personal Development
A field trip is a unique experience that does not only allows children to improve their sport skills but also helps them to maximize both personal and group development and to enhance their self-confidence and interpersonal skills.

Mountains & Culture

Students will gain important knowledge about mountain safety and mountain geography, for example experiencing quickly changing weather conditions, which are typical for high altitude environments. In addition, Les Elfes students will find out a lot about Swiss culture and local food.

All these components put together make a field trip a very valuable educational experience for the students, for the teachers who see the students evolving all throughout the week and for the parents who will find their children in very good physical and mental condition after coming back from their field trip with Les Elfes.
