Altitude Camps

In the beautiful Swiss mountain village of Verbier, Altitude Camps provides an international environment for campers aged 3-14 years to learn, develop and meet new friends from all over the world.

Our high-quality summer camps commence in June running until mid-August for a duration of 1-7 weeks.

Our residential camps are open to 7-14 year olds, offering Language Camps and Mountain Adventure Camps. Language campers will learn or develop existing language skills with a Native British English Speaker or Native French speaker, depending whether they choose the English or the French Camp.

Camps include 15 hours per week of language lessons and focus on conversation and confidence in using the language as much as possible.

Alternatively, children can select our Mountain Adventure Camp which switches language lessons for outdoor education, allowing children to be immersed in the English language without any formal language lessons. This camp is also run by Native English speakers and focuses on life skills in the fresh air, keeping children active and learning about the environment they are in.

Children will take part in activities such as raft building, climbing, shelter building, outdoor cooking, orienteering, ropes courses and more. Children will build on teamwork and leadership skills whilst also developing their own confidence and independence.

Both our language camps and our mountain adventures camps include a varied afternoon programme including multi-sports and excursions.

Our day camps follow the same format as that of our residential camp and are open to 6-14 year olds.

These camps run Monday to Friday 9am-4pm and children will mix with residential campers on our language or mountain adventure camps, but join for a shorter part of each day.

We also run a day camp for our smallest clients, our 3-5 year olds. Little ones can join our Marmot Camp which runs Monday to Friday 9am-1pm including a variety of adventures, sports, excursions, arts and crafts, cookery and more.

Children are in groups of 4 max and the camp is run in English by our experienced team.

Day Camps include lunch and all activities and excursions.

Altitude Camps welcomes up to 50 children a week allowing for a personalised approach to all campers and a sense of that home away from home feeling.

Residential campers will stay in our private Swiss chalets and will benefit from:

• 2-4 children per bedroom
• En-suite bathrooms
• Private chefs preparing all meals
• 24/7 supervision
• Garden
• Games Room
• Wi-Fi
