We’re opening our place before Christmas for Bible-School students from various English speaking European Torchbearer Centers, to either finish off their stay in Europe in a unique way or spend a fun time during part of their Christmas break along with people from other centers!
What to expect
This is going to be a fun relaxing time with lots of opportunities for outdoor activities in the beautiful Engadin valley, including down-hill and cross-country skiing, sledding, ice skating, snow-shoeing or going sight seeing in the charming historical villages in the area!
Besides all the activities, you also get another opportunity to enjoy great fellowship in an international setting along with students from other Torchbearers Bible School centres, and you will be able to exchange your experiences and encourage each other! Some nights we’ll also have some optional worship and sharing times together.
In the mornings there will be a breakfast buffet from about 8-10am and dinner we all eat together as a group around 7pm. During the days you will be all free to do whatever in small groups or individually and we will provide lunch bags for everyone.
For those interested in skiing, we have a great ski resort close by only 20min away by train or car from our place. Check it out here and below is a map of the whole resort. The prices are listed further down.
