October 24, 2009: Trip to Gornergrat

On Saturday a large group of about 50 students set off for the Gornergrat and Zermatt.

The weather was beautiful when we arrived and we had a stunning view of the Matterhorn. After an traditional aperitif with Swiss wine and snacks on 3100m altitude and the first snowball fight, the group split up to explore the beauty of the Alps, enjoy the amazing view of the Matterhorn or to go to Zermatt for lunch and shopping.

Overall it was a great day!

October 11, 2009: Hiking Trip

Ten students took the opportunity of a leisurely 4 hour walk through the Valais and got in touch with the nature in the Alps.

It was a great day to walk through the scenic landscape enveloped in Fall's golden light. The weather was beautiful, the sun was out and the trees were showing a beautiful array of different colored foliage.

October 8, 2009: Ice Breaker

The Ice is BROKEN!!!

As a tradition at the University Centre César Ritz the Ice Breaker took place on the first Thursday of the new term.

After the welcome speech of Mr. Gutzwiller everybody enjoyed Swiss raclette, a wide range of hot snacks, a delicious assortment of desserts and not to forget the beer and wine - a perfect evening to get to know each other.

A big thanks to the kitchen and service crew for this wonderful event!

September 17, 2009: A Mid-Summer Night's S'More

The traditional American summer indulgence. Toasted Marshmallows, Graham Crackers, and Milk Chocolate.... Stacked together, and enjoyed by all!

Student gathered around the burning coals to toast their Marshmallows to perfection! Some students were excited for the opportunity to have s'mores in Switzerland... a rare treat, and others were intrigued by the creation.... and later addicted to the chocolaty goodness :)
