The fact that our courses explore different types of culinary traditions every week, opens our program to students for a training of 1 up to 3 weeks.

Week 3 and week 6 are dedicated to “Chocolate and Pastry“, it has been especially created for the sweet lovers.

Excursions

This region of Switzerland offers beautiful landscapes, picturesque mountain villages, and sparkling lakes. Every Saturday, students who are continuing on another week take part in a day long excursion. Destinations are alternated, and include city trips to Bern, the Swiss capital and Lausanne, the world's best small city.

Evening activities

The evening is the best time of the day to relax, have fun, and enjoy the atmosphere of the program. Activities include an evening by the lake, a Casino Night, a talent show, Olympiads, cinema nights and karaoke. Evening activities are optional, however, they are a great bonding opportunity as well as an integral part of community life.
