Ski Camp in Riedli

  Switzerland

Basel,  Zurich

Dates: Winter

Description: Our ski resort in Riedli is among the most preferred places of Switzerland! This amazing camp is situated in a cozy chalet next to the slopes. For those ski and snowboarding enthusiasts, beginners and advanced alike, you are sure to be amazed not only by the beauty of Switzerland, but also by the excellent opportunities to explore the white powdered slopes. For example the famous "Gstaad" which goes up to 3000 meters high. Our beginners will enjoy the slopes of "Wierihorn" or the lighter runways at "Schwarzenberg", which are both excellent places to get your professional ski career started! Our more advanced and experienced ski and snowboarders will be amazed by the slopes of "Hohmad-Riedli". A special highlight is our excursion to the glacier "Les Diablerets",which is so high up that you can ski and snowboard in the summertime. It is ranked among the best kept secrets of the ski-crazy Swiss!

Highlights: You can choose between skiing or snowboarding courses on three different levels from beginners to advanced. For three hours a day, the lessons will be ran by experienced skiing and snowboarding instructors. Upon arrival we will provide you with all needed equipment. We don't waste any time...the day after arrival we hit the slopes. Our staff will check on your abilities and then place you in the appropriate course levels. Of course, you can change your level if necessary after a couple of lessons.

If your parents sign the "free ride" permission slip you will be able to tackle the slopes with your friends in groups of at least three campers. But, of course, you must stay on the marked runs and behave in an appropriate way. The permission slip will need to be with all other travel documents upon arrival in Riedli. Of course, you are always welcome to accompany our staff which will be on the same slopes at all times.

Camps International's Mission Statement: Established in 1984, CAMPS imported the idea of summer camps from its country of origin, the U.S. Twenty years later we run various holiday camps in countries such as Germany, England, France, Canada, Croatia and Switzerland. Our greatest hope is to provide holidays and language learning experiences to campers from all over the world, and of course at the same time make it an experience of a lifetime! We are convinced that both children from abroad and German kids gain a lot from living together and learning about different cultures, languages and lifestyles. As well we have a high school programs, where we send German kids to 14 different countries on 5 continents (USA, Canada, Brasil, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Danmark and Finland.) They can go to school and live with a host family from 3 months up to a year.
