Activity Holidays for Youth Groups to Switzerland
Let’s get exploring…
Welcome to Switzerland, a place we hold close to our hearts! This destination is famous among Cubs, Explorers and Scouts to Brownies, Guides and Rangers and for good reason!
Switzerland is a place where verdant valleys weave between snow-capped mountains and azure lakes. For years, this place has served as a crossroad where scouting and guiding groups from every corner of the globe come together – perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike!
Whatever the time of year, we have it covered!
Scout activity trips to Switzerland are all about the wonders of Kandersteg International Scouting Centre, known to many as KISC. KISC offers a true international Scouting experience, and activities and excursions on tap day and night! Think gorge walks, overnight hut hikes, rock climbing, river rafting, summer tobogganing, hiking, canyoning, mountain biking – the lot! Camp under the stars, gather around the fire and master new skills.
If you don’t fancy camping at KISC, then activity trips to Switzerland can also offer groups the chance to stay in a typically Swiss group chalet in the centre of the idyllic village of Adelboden. Ride cable cars, experience the thrill of white-water rafting or get traditional and visit the woodcarver! This destination also gives you the chance to visit the WAGGGS World Centre, Our Chalet, a ‘must-do’ for many Guide groups!
And in the winter, activity trips to Switzerland offer a whole new view as groups can enjoy an exciting winter adventure.
Why activity youth group trips to Switzerland are a MUST!
Activity holidays to Switzerland are often top of the ‘wish list’ for Scouts and Explorers, Guides, Rangers and members of the Trefoil Guild – but, why?
