The student social committee organizes many social and cultural activities on and off campus such as the Cultural Night, theme dinner parties, quiz nights, disco evenings and more. The Café du Village (also called CDV) is a focal point for running these events.

Students also enjoy going out for a meal or a drink at “Le Petit Paradis”, a local establishment, or to Crans-Montana which is only 10 minutes away from the campus and which abounds with restaurants, clubs, bars and shops.

One of the highlights of each semester is “Cultural Night” consisting of an evening of entertainment and culinary specialties. Students from all countries are invited to participate in the entertainment show whereby they depict aspects of their own culture. Following the show, there is a chance to taste a variety of exotic foods prepared by the students representing their country.

Traditional costumes, musical instruments, tapes, slides, photos, posters, etc are all items that are important contributions towards this event.

The full-time sports coach helps students maintain a balanced, healthy lifestyle during their time on campus. Depending upon the season, students can participate in sports on-campus such as volleyball, basketball, football or swimming. The campus also has a modern gym and fitness center, where students can use the equipment free of charge. Additionally, the sports coach organizes trainings and competitions for team sports.

A few minutes away is Crans-Montana, one of Switzerland’s leading ski resorts which regularly hosts World Championships and many World Cup races. In the summer, the tourism department organizes a full calendar of events, including the Swiss Open, a major golf tournament on the European Masters Tour, an event which several students help to organize. In winter, Crans-Montana offers the possibility for diverse winter sports such as curling, dog-sledding, ice-skating, cross-country and down-hill skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, toboggan and snow-tubing. 


If you are tempted by some sports you have never tried before, lessons and equipment rental can be easily arranged.
