Hello, Ski Campers!
Welcome to your very first day at Les elfes, Verbier,! A big hello to our friends from all around the world: Brazil, Japan, Spain, the UK, and beyond! Whether you’re a first-time skier or you’ve been on the slopes before, today is the perfect start to an unforgettable adventure.
Morning: The Slopes Await!
After gathering all the gear and getting fitted for skis and helmets, we headed to the slopes for our first ski session of the day. The excitement was electric as we stood at the top of the mountain, surrounded by the stunning views of the Swiss Alps. The snow was powdery and perfect for skiing!
Some campers started with a lesson to get comfortable on the skis, while others who were more experienced headed straight down the beginner-friendly trails. Everyone was falling, laughing, and learning something new as they took their first runs of the day. It was a fantastic sight to see everyone helping each other and sharing tips.
Afternoon: Lunch & More Skiing
After an awesome morning of skiing, it was time for a well-deserved lunch break. We headed to a cozy mountain restaurant, and while refueling, campers chatted about their experiences on the slopes, sharing laughs and stories from their morning runs.
Refreshed and ready to go, we returned to the slopes for round two! Some kids took on more challenging trails, while others worked on perfecting their technique. The sun started to dip behind the peaks, casting a beautiful golden light across the snow—what a view!
Evening: Ice Skating & Exploring Verbier
Once the skiing for the day was over we headed to the local ice skating rink. Even those who had never ice skated before gave it a go, holding onto the sides and laughing.
Some of the campers enjoyed exploring Verbier’s lively streets, taking photos, and shopping for souvenirs.
Night: Relax & Choose Your Adventure
After a fun-filled day, it was time to wind down. All the campers went back for dinner and then headed to the sports center to get in some extra fun and fitness. They tried out activities like, rock climbing, and even a little basketball. Others went to the cinema for a relaxing movie night. It was the perfect way to end a full day of activities—sitting back and watching a great film with new friends.
Reflections & Highlights
What a day it’s been! Skiing, ice skating, exploring Verbier, and making new friends from around the world—we hope you all had as much fun as we did. Take some time to reflect on your favorite moments of the day. Was it your first run on the slopes? Your spins on the ice rink? Or maybe laughing with new friends over lunch?
Tomorrow brings even more adventures, so get ready for another exciting day on the slopes!
