Image of Study French in SwitzerlandWhat could be more relaxing and pleasurable than learning French in Switzerland! Crans-Montana is equally seductive and beautiful in both summer and winter and suitably tranquil to reflect and relax. Take a moment to unwind or read the newspaper in a comfortable sun lounger with a café latte al fresco or sample one of the Valais' signature wines. Whilst in winter what could be more enticing, than unwinding in perfect insouciance by a warm crackling fire in your hotel?

Enjoy the wonderful shopping with top fashion designers from France and Italy, exquisite jewellery and the famous Swiss watches. Other leisure options include skiing, ice skating, curling, sledging, horse riding, swimming, tennis, hiking, and summer cross-country skiing on the glacier.

The vibrant night-life of the twin villages also offers a variety of restaurants, piano bars, discos, casino and a cinema.

Edelweiss Tours
Courses / Programs
Edelweiss Tours, based in Oregon, organises German language tours in Switzerland for high school and college students. Our tours are different because we have placed our students, along with their adult supervision, in their very own apartments for an entire week. They will be living with the locals of the country and not in a hotel geared for tourists. This gives the students a better feel of how the locals live and more opportunities to use their German language skills in a real world setting.

We set up teaching scenarios customized by their own instructor. We use our surroundings as a classroom and expect the students to participate. Nothing too overwhelming, but definitely fun! Some of the scenarios we include; grocery shopping, ordering food at a restaurant, purchasing train tickets, asking for directions, etc.
