The famous Institut Monte Rosa Winter School requires a minimum stay of one week, although parents can extend up to one month if they wish.

Private lessons are possible on request, and all participants receive a certificate at the conclusion of the course. It’s not all about classroom hours, however, as Monte Rosa give students plenty of time to seek thrills on the slopes. The programme includes four half days and one full day of skiing per week, plus a whole host of intriguing alpine adventures. The Winter Camp is available for both day and boarding school pupils, and a maximum of 40 participants are allowed to attend any one camp.
