Alpadia Montreux - Academic Year Abroad

Alpadia Montreux - Academic Year Abroad

Our partner school sits on Montreux's central avenue, overlooking Lake Geneva's waterfront. Along the tree-lined lakeside path, you'll discover numerous dining spots, coffee houses, and bars all within easy reach on foot. Public transport couldn't be more convenient—both bus stops and the train station are moments away. The building houses 10 well-lit study spaces, an on-site café, an outdoor area, and free wireless internet access. From day one through to your departure, the friendly teaching team provides individualised guidance tailored to your needs. Montreux's intimate scale means you'll quickly become a familiar face in local shops—perfect for practising French naturally—while its position between the lake and Alps offers weekend escapes to Lausanne, Geneva, or the mountains.
