We found the heart of summer in the Swiss Alps — and no signal required ❤️🏔️ Through a wooden heart we met new friends. Helmets on, harnesses checked — first belays, big laughs, and proud high-fives. 🧗‍♀️🧗‍♂️ Cobbled streets, mountain-bike rides, and the tiny fountain that made us all splash-happy. 🚲💦 A suspension bridge, a muddy pup, and the kind of courage you can only get outside. 🌉🐶 At Young Explorers Club we do more than play: - bike skills & mountain navigation - safe rope work & climbing confidence - team challenges, leadership moments, and bilingual (EN/FR) friendships - tech-free days that build resilience, curiosity and lifelong memories — 100% FUN, 0% WIFI 🔋🚫 Want the 2026 trips & camps guide?

We found the heart of summer in the Swiss Alps — and no signal required...

From first knot to summit selfie — pure summer magic. 🧗‍♀️✨ At the Young Explorers Club we watch nervous toes become confident steps. We clip helmets, double-check harnesses, teach figure-eight knots, and cheer as kids climb their first limestone face in the Swiss Alps. You’ll see instructors coaching belay technique, teammates calling out encouragement, and that moment at the top when everyone high-fives and takes a selfie. 📸 What we do: - 100% FUN • 0% WIFI — real-world challenges, real friendships. - Bike trips through the Alps, rock-climbing, team games, skills workshops and language moments (EN/FR) with kids from all over the world. - We build resilience, leadership, rope-smarts and outdoor confidence — safely, with trained guides and trusted gear. 🪢🪖 Swipe through the carousel: harness checks, hands-on knot-tying, someone belaying from below, the climb from above — and the proud smiles at the top. This is learning by doing. This is travel that grows you. Want the 2026 trips & camps guide?

From first knot to summit selfie — pure summer magic. 🧗‍♀️✨

At the Young Explorers...

100% FUN. 0% WIFI. 🚲🔥🌄 At Young Explorers Club we wake up to the Alps, pedal through mountain passes, feed friendly goats, build campfires and share stories until the stars come out. We watch kids discover they can lead, laugh in two languages, and sleep a little braver each night. 🌿😊 From bike trips across Swiss valleys to hands-on workshops, team challenges and sunrise soccer on the meadow — every day is a lesson in resilience, friendship, and curiosity. We mix outdoor skills (map-reading, campcraft) with personal growth, bilingual moments and loads of messy, joyful learning. 📚🤝 Why kids love it: real adventures, true friendships, safe teams, and zero screens. Just nature, guidance, and big smiles. 🌍✨ Want the 2026 trips & camps guide?

100% FUN. 0% WIFI. 🚲🔥🌄

At Young Explorers Club we wake up to the Alps,...

100% FUN. 0% WIFI. 🚫📶🏔️ Cliff-high cheers, icy waterfall sprays, and the kind of teamwork that only comes from hauling ropes and sharing sandwiches on a rocky ledge. At Young Explorers Club we spent the week climbing slabs, canyoning under waterfalls, learning ropes & belays, and building friendships in three languages — all beneath the Swiss Alps. 🌍🧗‍♀️🌊 Tiny moments we loved: • A kid waving from the lip of the canyon — fearless and smiling. 👋 • Two friends mastering a rappel, then high-fiving at the base. ✋🙌 • Quiet game nights inside when the mountain clouds rolled in. ♠️🃏 • A muddy paw and a wagging tail joining our lunch circle. 🐾 What they learn (beyond epic memories): • Practical outdoor skills: knots, belay, route reading 🪢 • Teamwork, risk-awareness & confidence-building 🤝 • Independence in a safe, guided environment 🚧 • Languages, friendships and respect for nature 🌿 Why families choose us: International kids, bilingual staff, certified safety, and an unplugged week where curiosity wins. We turn screen time into trail time — and the results speak for themselves. ✨ Which adventure would your child pick — climbing or canyoning?

Cliff-high cheers, icy waterfall sprays, and the kind of teamwork...

No Wi‑Fi. 100% FUN. ✨🏔️ We spent the week climbing rocky ridges with helmets on, sharing sandwiches with a very loyal camp dog, and laughing until dinner. We built confidence on the mini-ramp and on our bikes through the Alps. 🚴‍♂️🪂 Inside the chalet we learned real skills: hand‑rolled pasta in our cooking workshop, team games that make new friends (en français et en English), and messy face‑paint nights under UV lights. 🎨🍝🌙 This is more than a holiday — it’s a place to try, fail, get up, and glow. Kids leave with new skills: leadership, resilience, outdoor safety, language confidence, and memories that outlast any signal. 🌲🤝 Why kids love it: - Outdoor adventures across Swiss peaks - Multicultural, bilingual teams (FR/EN) - Tech‑free days = deeper friendships - Hands‑on workshops and sports challenges Want the 2026 trips & camps guide?
