A language study stay in a student residence is ideal for vacation courses for juniors. It is very important to us that our young clients feel at home and in this regard, the ESL course centre in Leysin is exceptional.

Recently renovated and welcoming, the very comfortable bedrooms for 4 people, with a magnificent view of the Alps, are generously wooded in order to give a mountain atmosphere and each have their own bathroom, a television and a direct telephone line allowing you to receive calls.

Numerous games (table football, pool, table tennis, pinball machines) as well as a covered swimming pool and a wellness area with a sauna and Jacuzzi manage to make this residence into a real paradise for juniors.

In such an environment, you can make new friends very quickly and the community life is particularly favourable to good humour, conviviality and the intensive practice of the studied language throughout the day.

The team of ESL monitors stays on-site and constantly looks after the well-being and safety of the participants. The residence accommodation includes full board.
