  • Plenty of workshops, sports and activities offered.
  • Braunwald is one of the top destinations our students liked most

Location: friLingue Language Camp Braunwald is a Junior camp school located in the inspiring and naturally abundant resort village of Braunwald, Switzerland. Surrounded by mountains in the beautiful Glarnerland, Braunwald is a rich location for junior students to further their German and English language skills via tuition and group activities. The location is ripe with mountainous greenery outside of the winter months and is often covered in snow throughout winter.

Course selection: At various times throughout the year, friLingue Language Camp Braunwald provides junior programmes for students of all levels. These programmes are inclusive of tuition, activities, meals, accommodation, and excursions, set against the backdrop of the Glarus Alps on the terrace of the Linth Valley.

Generally, these programmes include one full-day excursion and two half-day excursions per week. Such excursions can include trips to Zurich, the Lindt Home of Chocolate, Lake Walen, Lake Zurich, the Alpamare indoor aqua park and many more.

There are daily activities for students, ensuring as much interaction as possible with their peers and the camp staff members.

These camps offer 24/7 supervision.

Getting around: Braunwald is a car-free resort set in the mountains. There are several amenities close by and an inclined railway to assist students in travelling around the local peaks. Although the place is car-free, there is an access road. Zurich is about an hour away by car.

Accompanied train rides from Zurich or Bern are available for students travelling from Switzerland.

Additional comment about facilities of school
Braunwald here we come!! Our newest camp in the beautiful Glarnerland offers formidable views of the Tödi! In our newest friLingue camp you will learn English, French or German in small groups of 6 participants. During 15 hours per week we study English, French or German. In the afternoon, we explore the surroundings together, go on an action-packed excursion or organise exciting workshops - and there's no shortage of fun! After an intensive long day, we have a delicious homemade dinner from our typical friLingue cuisine and then we continue with the evening programme, where we really go all out again. Braunwald - the sunny terrace of the Glarnerland - ideal for learning German, French or English. The camp in Braunwald takes place in our Adrenalin Backpacker Hostel. Here we have plenty of space: three large terraces, single, double, 4-bed, 6-bed and multi-bed rooms and a bar with syrup and other non-alcoholic delicacies! There's also a table football table and a pool table. Braunwald is car-free and lies on a sunny terrace high above the sea of fog. The resort can be reached by car from Zurich in just over an hour. Or you can take the accompanied train from Zurich HB, leaving on Sunday afternoon.
