// Included activities & excursions
Our standard activity programme takes place every day and is fully included in the cost of the stay. Extremely varied, it enables students to take part in a wide range of sports and other activities. All these activities are organised, supervised and run by the ESL team for each course centre.
There is a full programme of excursions, for example, you can visit the fascinating medieval château at Chillon, the interactive Olympic Museum in Lausanne, or the international city of Geneva. |

// The optional recreation packages

“Horse riding” package (summer & autumn)
Designed for students who wish to go horse riding during their stay at Leysin, this package offers them the chance to ride three hours a week. The extremely intensive lessons take place at the Leysin horse riding school. This package is aimed at experienced riders.

This package is only available to students who have ski or snowboard experience.
