Mountain Weekend in Verbier – A Tradition of Adventure and Friendship

Thist weekend, all of our boarding students came together for one of the highlights of our year: the Mountain Weekend in the stunning Swiss Alps. This annual tradition is not only a great way to kick off the year with fresh air and outdoor fun, but also an amazing opportunity for new students to make friends and connect with the boarding community.

We were lucky to enjoy very beautiful weather throughout the weekend, which made the experience even more memorable. The girls took part in a variety of exciting mountain activities, including hiking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. These activities pushed them out of their comfort zones while allowing them to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Swiss mountains.

At the same time, in the village of Verbier where we were staying, the famous Spartan Race was taking place. This intense obstacle course covers several kilometers and includes challenges such as carrying heavy objects and climbing high walls. Our students had a great time watching the athletes take on these physical tests, it was both inspiring and entertaining!

The Mountain Weekend is a cherished boarding tradition, and each year it helps our students discover new passions, enjoy the natural beauty of Switzerland, and build strong friendships that last all year long. With fresh mountain air, plenty of sports, and lots of laughter, this was the perfect way to start the school year on a high note!
