Student life
Live well, learn well
Your student experience extends far beyond the classroom. Hone your leadership abilities, explore your interests, learn new skills–our extracurricular activities are a great way to grow as a person and develop strong friendships.
Chill out with your fellow classmates in our recreational rooms, join an extracurricular club, attend a masterclass, attend a fun themed banquet or plan a party at the Underground in Le Bouveret and Chaos in Brig.
Innovation club
Join forces with your peers to find new and creative ways of enhancing student life. Some of this club's innovative contributions include: increasing the spaces available for group work, more sustainable printing options, and an e-scooter project.
Eta Sigma Delta Society
The students with the best academic results can join the Eta Sigma Delta Society, an international honor society in the field of hospitality, tourism, and culinary arts. From exclusive sessions with guest speakers, to field trips where they practice team-building, and develop their leadership skills, members are encouraged to continually strive for excellence.

Sports Day
Twice a year, students from our three sister schools come together for some friendly, athletic competition. Football, volleyball, basketball–may the best team win!
Student Ambassador Committee
Fostering the next generation of leaders
Each term, students elect a committee of peers who represent them to improve the student experience on campus. Fostering a spirit of democratic cooperation among the student body, the committee works together as a mini-company, with each member serving in a different capacity.
Their involvement on campus includes organizing events and parties, promoting student activities on social media, putting together the yearbook, expressing academic concerns to faculty, and supervising school clubs.
Exploring Switzerland and beyond
Organized excursions
Every term, we offer free excursions to some of Switzerland’s top cities and destinations so you can enjoy all the country has to offer. Whether you’re visiting the capital of Bern, or another sought-after site such as Lucerne, Zurich, or Interlaken, you’ll have many opportunities to explore, shop, dine, and discover Switzerland’s unique culture.
Take advantage of the great outdoors
Switzerland also provides year-round opportunities for outdoor activities, such as mountain biking, hiking, swimming, river rafting, sailing, water-skiing, golfing, horseback riding, and paragliding. With nearly 200 winter sports resorts across the country, there are plenty of activities, including skiing, sledding, skating, hockey, and ice climbing to keep you busy in the winter months.
Cultural activities
Switzerland also offers an extensive range of cultural experiences. Enjoy world-renowned exhibitions, trade fairs, film festivals, museums, and musical events throughout the year or stroll through the many traditional Christmas, antiques’, and farmers’ markets.
