Ecole SkiVenture Winter Camp: Ski and Language Camp in Hasliberg, Switzerland

Ecole SkiVenture is a two-week winter camp held on the chalet campus of Ecole d'Humanité, a progressive Swiss boarding school, at Hasliberg Goldern in the Bernese Oberland. Students live among the school community rather than in a separate summer-camp setup. This is a winter programme. Unlike almost everything else in this catalogue, it does not run in the summer holidays — the listed session falls at the end of January. Families planning around a summer break should look elsewhere; those looking specifically for a winter option have relatively few to choose from. Programme and activities. Mornings are given to language: three lessons a day in either German or English, leading to a TELC assessment and certificate. A recognised certificate at the end is a concrete outcome, which distinguishes the camp from programmes where progress is informal. The rest of the day is built around skiing in the Bernese Oberland. Accommodation. Students live on the Ecole's Swiss chalet-style campus at Hasliberg Goldern, among the school community. Room configurations vary, and the provider states these should be confirmed at booking rather than publishing a fixed arrangement — families with a preference should raise it early. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 12 to 16 and runs for a fixed two weeks. One session is currently listed, starting at the end of January 2027. Families should confirm with the school whether other winter dates are available. Location and travel. Hasliberg is a mountain village in the Bernese Oberland of central Switzerland, above Meiringen. Zurich is the usual arrival airport, with Bern closer but less well connected. Transfer arrangements are not published, and winter travel conditions should be factored into planning. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families who want a language stay outside the summer, students learning German who want immersion in a German-speaking canton, and skiers who would rather combine the sport with study than take a pure ski holiday. The TELC certificate suits students who need documented progress. Because only one date is published and the camp runs in winter, an early enquiry about dates and availability is sensible.
