Welcome to Les Elfes International in Verbier, Switzerland!
Since 1987, we provide children and teenagers from 7-18 years old from all around the world with summer, winter & spring camps that combine the discovery and the practice of new exciting sports with learning and perfecting languages. During Summer, students from 7-17 years old are invited to spend 2, 3 or 4 week-sessions in Verbier, one of the most famous ski resorts in Switzerland, situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps on a sunny plateau and guaranteeing an exceptionally pleasant climate all year-round. Students will enjoy their days with outdoor activities, language classes, sports, and excursions. We offer over 40 exciting outdoor activities, such as rock climbing, mountain biking, ropes courses, wakeboarding, tubing, paragliding, basketball, hiking, swimming, ice skating, tennis, golf, horseback riding and many more.
During Winter Camp, from the beginning of December to the end of April, Les Elfes proposes several sessions, usually from 1 to 2 weeks long for boys and girls aged 8 to 18 years old. Our campers can choose among ski or snowboard lessons, from very beginner to advanced level, combined with optional language lessons and exciting after-ski activities and excursions. Skiing and snowboarding are taught by qualified instructors. Finally, the Spring Camp, from April to June, is the perfect occasion to mix winter and summer activities and during the regular sessions of 2 weeks camp, we propose 1 week of Ski on the Matterhorn and 1 week of Summer Sports in Verbier. Security is fundamental for us! From the moment they wake up until they go to bed, after the varied evening activities organized by Les Elfes, children are under permanent Les Elfes’ staff supervision in order to ensure a maximum of fun in a very safe environment.
Each Camp is supervised by a Resort Manager, an Activities Manager and a Head Organizer. Moreover, Les Elfes runs the camps with all appropriate staff, including monitors, organizers, kitchen staff, secretaries, drivers, cleaning staff etc.
The professionalism and competence of our staff are guaranteed by the compulsory two-week training course they are required to complete before the beginning of each season, one week of technical training and one week learning Les Elfes philosophy and safety requirements. This, allow us to provide the perfect mix of guardian, friends and teachers to all of the students, and, while we are there to ensure student’s happiness, parents can be reassured that nothing comes before student safety. Our Staff is fully aware of the enormous responsibility of taking care of children and are completely focused on their well-being!
Our instructors and sports experts coach the participants in each of their activities. During winter, all our ski and snowboard instructors are accredited by the official Swiss Ski School while in summer each instructor specializes in the various sports offered. The organizer to student ratio is 1:5, however including all Les Elfes staff the ratio falls to 1:2.
Finally, all our monitors have been carefully selected in accordance with Les Elfes criteria for skills and experience in working with children. On top of this, Les Elfes uses sports experts for some activities.
