The combination of both pathways ensures that our students obtain the keys to their successful professional life.
Our students have the opportunity to live in a collaborative community, offering them a home away from home.
With a 90'000 sqm campus, students experience hospitality within the entire Villars Alpine Resort.
For being the only school in the world offering such a variety of applied learning space, we also guarantee their studies in a safe and healthy environment at the heart of the Swiss Alps.
Our programme includes three challenging and creative expeditions that gradually evolve and lead students to an experience of a lifetime.
An ultimate experience to exceed themselves and step out of their comfort zone is planned from hiking in the Swiss Alps to climbing Mount Meru (4'565m) in Tanzania, or through sailing and sleeping under a million stars. Students particularly need to prove their communication, leadership, and teamwork skills while adapting to a constantly changing environment.
As a prominent value of the Villars Palace Academy, philanthropy is included in all four semesters. Students dedicate time and talent to different causes and communities while using their leadership skills. Altruistic activities take place while organizing fundraising events to project management with our partner foundation "Le Solstice".
No longer an option, sustainability is a necessity. Our students can learn from the various sustainable actions carried out within our Resort.
