Tours last up to eight days during the October Mid-Term. Students from 3rd to 6th year can travel and the tour is entirely optional. Generally about 90 travel with eight to ten teachers and there is usually a long waiting list. Any student considered unreliable is not accepted for the tour. We usually stay in comfortable hotels with two to four students in a room.
Every effort is made to facilitate classmates or friends who wish to share a room.
The trour programme is a varied and very buisy one. There is a mix of cultural, sporting and scientific itmes. There is time for shopping in at least two countries. The tour group will be based in Interlaken, a charming town located in the scenic Jungfrau region. We will ascend the famous Schilthorn by cablecar to take in the stunning Alpine views from 3,000 metres.
