Leysin-Campus

Our SHMS Leysin Campus is known as Switzerland’s first Learning Resort and offers, besides outstanding academic facilities, a wide range of leisure and relaxation facilities. Leysin - a well-known ski and sports resort - is located approximately 30 minutes drive from Montreux and offers excellent leisure and sports facilities in summer and winter.

Students in the Diploma and Higher Diploma Programme have the option to study either in the Caux-Campus or in the Leysin Campus. All students in the PGD/PGC or the final term of the BA/MA programmes are accommodated in the Leysin Campus.

Facilities
SHMS is housed in two outstanding properties in Leysin. The Mont-Blanc Palace Hotel was one of the largest and most impressive hotels in Leysin and the Belvédère Hotel, built just a few years later and only a short distance away to the same high specification. Both hotels later became part of the famous Club Med, until they were purchased and completely renovated by SHMS in 2004.

The outstanding setting, great sporting facilities, opportunities for sightseeing and the proximity to Montreux and Lake Geneva may be some of the reasons why Leysin today is increasingly developing into an international study resort home to many international schools and universities.
Leysin - a charming well known resort, quiet and peaceful enough to focus on your studies yet full of sports, leisure and sightseeing opportunities - is the ‘natural’ place to study.

Accommodation
During the academic term students are accommodated in two magnificent buildings “Mont-Blanc” and “Belvédère” which have both been recently renovated and offer some of the best facilities available. A wide range of rooms are available:

• Double or Single Superior Deluxe
