Trip Description

The Switzerland Skiing and Snowboarding programs offers a fun experience to learn and hone your skills. Beginner to advanced skiers and boarders are provided with excellent instruction, explore new terrain, learn better techniques and carve their own tracks through the powdery European snow. Professional instructors provide one-on-one and group lessons in a gorgeous setting. Travelers will also get to explore picturesque Swiss towns, absorb the culture of the region, and take several day trips. At the end of the trip travelers will leave with new skills, new friends and unforgettable memories.

Staff Overview

All staff members undergo extensive interviewing, training, and ongoing evaluation.
Very few new staff are hired each year due to high retention rate. Trip leaders do not lead a trip without prior experience as a TFT counselor. With few exceptions, students are fully supervised on all of our journeys. Most staff members have lived in the countries they are leading each trip in and are able to offer deeper insights into the culture and lifestyle.

Setting & Accommodations

Travelers stay together in a private Swiss chalet in the Alps.

Safety Standards

Travelers are under staff supervision at all times except select hour to hour and a half shopping trips. While on the mountains professionals supervise and teach correct technique to avoid injury. Travel for teens analyzes every aspect and detail of each trip and goes over contingency plans and emergency numbers for each country. Each site and hotel is visited and approved before bringing a group and first aid kits are always on hand. English-speaking doctors are on hand most of the time, but when they are not the bilingual staff act as interpreters.
