German Language Tours in Switzerland

Edelweiss Tours:
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 from past years lessons. 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

Something Unique:
Something that is also unique to our tour is the accessibility to local Swiss people. At two of our four dinners we will have a local Swiss couple join us for dinner, this gives the students a chance to use their German and gain a deeper insight of the Swiss German people. This has been one of our favorite parts of the tour, watching the interaction among the locals and the student is amazing. It gives them so much more knowledge about the country, language, and culture they could never find in a classroom setting.

Our 9 day tour of Switzerland will give you a breathtaking journey through the majestic Swiss Alps, Switzerland's major metropolitans, and the tiny villages that dot the green countryside.
