Field Trips
The Winter Term makes excursions to two medieval castles, the Gruyère Cheese factory, the Olympic Museum and cathederal in Lausanne, the ancient Roman capital of Switzerland, the Swiss Transportation and Glacier Museums in Lucerne, the federal capital city of Berne, a Saturday open-air market just over the border in Italy, and other events such as World Cup skiing when they are available. To enrich the nature of their Swiss experience and form strong bonds within the group, each student is also part of a small-group weekend trip that seeks out regional cultural and sporting events such as the Fasnacht in Thun, visiting a hidden WWII artillery bunker, or a professional hockey game.
