Weekends are an important part of the boarding experience at VIS and give students the chance to enjoy everything that Verbier and Switzerland have to offer.
Saturdays are typically active and full of opportunities. Depending on the season, students might spend the day skiing, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, swimming, playing tennis or padel, enjoying activities by the lake, or taking part in other outdoor adventures.
We also organise excursions beyond Verbier, giving students opportunities to discover other parts of Switzerland and neighbouring destinations. Cultural visits, city trips, shopping, cinemas, sporting activities, and places of local interest all form part of the programme throughout the year.
Students are encouraged to contribute ideas and help shape weekend activities, giving them a sense of ownership over their boarding experience.
Sundays have a more relaxed rhythm. Activities are available, but participation is generally optional, giving students time to rest, catch up on schoolwork, organise their belongings, spend time with friends, and prepare for the week ahead.
This balance between adventure and downtime ensures students can make the most of their weekends while returning to school refreshed and ready for the week.
