Luxury Chalets Close to Swiss International Summer Camps

Located just a short stroll from the centre of town, Chalet Le Ti is a prime example of an authentic Swiss chalet. Surrounding the chalet is a garden and terrace with sunken hot tub - the perfect spot to relax on a long summer’s day.

Several reputable international schools are located in Verbier. Les Elfes offers two to four-week summer camps from the beginning of June until the end of August.

If you’re looking to invite friends and family out during your stay then six-bedroom Chalet Les Étrennes is a fantastic choice.

There is an outdoor hot tub on the terrace and plenty of space indoors to chill out too.

If you want to spend time with your children but still wish for them to experience camp life then Altitude’s day camps are a great option. At Altitude, they will learn how to work as a team and discover new skills such as fire-building, survival skills and orienteering.

Situated next door to Hotel de Rougemont just outside Gstaad lies the stunning five-bedroom Chalet de Rougemont.

One of the most famous Swiss international schools, Le Rosey, is located in Gstaad during the summer months.

Crans Montana is both relaxing and action-packed in the summer months. With five lakes where you can swim and sunbathe, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it was a beach resort. Golf is also a big draw and there are a number of important tournaments during the summer, including the Swiss Open.
