Social Program and Recreation:

At the present time we are trying to plan an excursion to a thermal spa


Villars is a beautiful part of the Swiss Alps and part of each afternoon will be free.

There are possibilities for several indoor and outdoor activities including swimming and sauna at the hotel, cycling and mountain biking, hiking, tennis and golf
