This weekend at VDL was all about movement, creativity, and shared moments. From an energizing Ski Day to mindful Pilates, Stretching and a dynamic Running Club, we kept our bodies active and spirits high.

Creativity flowed in the Art Club, while the Hungarian Language Club brought curiosity and cultural discovery. The weekend ended on a delicious note with our Cooking Club, where teamwork and fun were the main ingredients.

A perfect mix of energy, creativity, and community — this is life at VDL 💛

Wishing you a day full of smiles, good food, and cozy moments. Hope this year brings you everything you’ve been hoping for ✨

We are lucky to have you and follow your next chapter of life. 🌸

 

This week, we are proud to celebrate our Boarders of the Week, who represented the house in the ski race during the House Competition.

Taking on the challenge with determination, focus, and great sportsmanship, they showed commitment both on and off the slopes. Competing in demanding conditions, they gave their best effort and supported one another throughout the event—truly reflecting the spirit of teamwork and resilience.

Well done for representing the house with such energy and pride. Your hard work and positive attitude did not go unnoticed. Congratulations on a fantastic performance, and keep pushing your limits! 👏🎿

Some evenings don’t need candles, reservations, or complicated recipes. They just need comfort.

Tonight’s dinner at home was as simple as it gets: hot dogs and mac & cheese. Nothing fancy, nothing plated to impress—and that was exactly the point. There’s something deeply satisfying about food that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. Warm, familiar, and a little nostalgic.✨ 🕯️

This week has been full of energy, warmth, and shared activities that continue to shape life at Villa du Lac 16. Leila enjoyed a lively day on the slopes ⛷️, making the most of the crisp winter air, while PT lessons kept the girls active on campus and focused as part of their weekly routine.

Back at the house, the sun briefly shone over the garden, illuminating our newly inaugurated outdoor space and creating a pleasant moment to pause and enjoy some fresh air. The girls also spent time in Geneva, combining a bit of shopping with shared time in the city.

Creativity continued in the kitchen, where Serafina took the lead in preparing a pasta dinner 🍝 that filled the house with inviting aromas and brought everyone together for a relaxed evening. As the day wound down, the girls shared stories and enjoyed a calm end to the day. We are also looking forward to welcoming Lucia back tomorrow and celebrating her birthday together 🎂💐

Villa du Lac 16 is taking shape, showing how shared moments,                                                                               daily routines, and care help turn a house into a home 🏡

This weekend offered a range of activities for our girls to choose from. On Saturday, some took part in cooking class, running club, horse riding, and the always-popular art club, which provided a calm and creative space to unwind. We also introduced a new activity – woodworking in Geneva – which gave the girls the opportunity to try something hands-on and different!

This week’s Boarder of the Week award goes to all of the Ski Day girls! ❄️⛷️
Throughout the day, they showed incredible energy, stayed active from start to finish, and embraced every moment on the slopes. Their enthusiasm, positive attitude, and support for one another made the ski day not only fun but truly memorable. Well done for making the most of the experience and showing such great spirit—keep it up!
