LOCATION SAVOGNIN/GRISONS

The Grisons, Switzerland's holiday corner!
You will find everything you expect from Switzerland here: Proud mountain peaks are scattered all over the landscape but still leave enough space for 150 valleys and a large national and nature park. The picture book climate spoils mountains and valleys with lots of sun. The Grisons are a classic holiday destination with a correspondingly modern infrastructure in tourism. Everybody knows first class holiday destinations such as St. Moritz, Davos, Arosa or the white arena around Laax and Flims.
Savognin's mild climate, with its marked Southern influence, is relatively dry with many sunny days. Not only the famous painter Giovanni Segantini (in Savognin 1886-1894) appreciated the unique natural beauty of the area, but also countless visitors from Switzerland and abroad are always fascinated by the magnificent mountain scenery.
The region and its villages offer a wide range of activities - Whether sporting, for example with the bike, or on simple, undemanding walks through unspoiled nature, or with complete relaxation on the beach of our bathing lake. Or experience an extra burst of adrenalin with downhill mountainbiking, paragliding, canyoning, rock climbing etc.... In Savognin you can make your holiday just as you want it to be and you will take home unforgettable memories and a lot of new friends. 
 

CAMP CONCEPT

LANGUAGE CAMP

The Language Camp provides the perfect setting for acquiring communication competency in German, French or English as a foreign language, based in a relaxed and modern lab environment. With the assistance of interactive software and our coaches, students complete work on laptops according to their language proficiency, in combination with a communication and project section. This modern language course is directed towards those who enjoy working independently with a computer and a well-designed language learning program while deciding for themselves at which level and how quickly they learn.
The entry level will be determined by taking a test under the supervision of a language coach. According to the results, a weekly plan will be composed for the chosen language. In addition to written exercises, performed and corrected directly on the computer, the course includes speech and comprehension tests as well as translations.
