We open our place over Christmas for Bible-School students from various English speaking European Torchbearer Centres, to either finish off their stay in Europe in a unique way or spend a fun time during their Christmas break along with others!
What to expect
This will be a great opportunity to enjoy fellowship and a fun time along with your friends and get to know students from other Torchbearer Bible School centres!
Chasa Perspectiva is located in the beautiful Engadin valley in a small mountain village called Lavin and offers the perfect setting to relaxe, reflect on what God has been teaching you and to recharge. There are also lots of opportunities for outdoor activities either right in town or very close by, such as down-hill and cross-country skiing, sledding, snow-shoeing or going sight seeing in the charming historical villages in the area. We also have an ice rink right beside our house to play hockey!
We won’t be offering any actual program during this time and you students will have to organize yourselves! Breakfast will be provided and included in the price of your stay. Optional bag lunches are also offered as well as warm dinners for which you will need to sign up for. There is also a small store in the village with a fairly big variety of food, plus a nice bakery and a restaurant/cafe.
Everybody will also be involved in some duties like helping with prepping meals, washing dishes and doing some cleaning.
Here is the link to the nearby Ski resort in Scuol, only 20min away from our place. We have quite a variety of winter gear that we offer for free to students. No guarantee though that we will have the perfect size for you! We have a few sets of decent skis and boots as well as lots of sleds, some sets of cross country skis and a few pair of snow shoes. Any needed gear for skiing can also be rented right at the ski resort.
