An exchange in Switzerland without a ski trip is out of question! 

On 8th of December we will head to Davos for 3 days of skiing and snowboarding. Davos is not only a famous and big ski resort, it is also the highest city of Europe and it hosts the world economic forum every year. Davos has also its own reputation for great night life vibes!

Friday morning we will take the train already dressed up in ski clothes and after a quick check-in at our youth hostel, it's straight onto the slopes! Later in the day we will enjoy some après-ski fresh beers or "Glühwein" down in Davos before going to have dinner and later enjoy the night life in Davos. On Saturday we will repeat the ski and après-ski and then go for fondue offered by your dear ESN! On Sunday we will be skiing one last day and come back home in the evening. Make sure you get your Monday off to recover from the intense week-end! On each day we can select between two resorts Jakobshorn and Parsenn to ski.

The detailed information on hostel and exact departure/arrival time, etc. will be communicated after your full registration.
