This weekend, our boys embarked on their first mountain adventure of the year in the beautiful alpine town of Leysin. The excitement was palpable as we arrived on Friday evening, settled into camp, and shared a hearty dinner together. To kick off the weekend, we ventured into the forest for a magical torch-lit walk, surrounded by nature and the quiet of the mountains.
Saturday was all about embracing the outdoors. After breakfast, we took the gondola up to Berneuse, the summit offering breathtaking views that set the tone for the day. Our hike was filled with fun and creativity—games like cat and mouse, sketching our favourite views, and playing splat kept spirits high as we made our way through the trails. We stopped for a well-deserved lunch at the Refuge de Mayen, and after a long but rewarding walk, we returned to camp, proud and tired. These boys truly proved themselves to be super hikers!
The evening brought a cozy change of pace. After some rest and dinner, we gathered around a campfire, sharing stories, laughter, and of course, roasting marshmallows—a sweet treat to end a perfect day.
Sunday morning was relaxed and creative. After a good night’s sleep, the group split into two: some boys explored Land Art, crafting beautiful pieces from natural materials, while others joined in sporty activities, showing that even after a full day of hiking, they still had energy to burn!
As we packed up and headed back to the boarding house, there was a shared sense of accomplishment and joy. Leysin gave us a weekend full of adventure, bonding, and unforgettable memories. Now, it’s time to recharge and get ready for the school week ahead.
