Verbier, in the Valais Alps, is one of the world's most famous ski resorts, with the 4 Valleys ski area, its freeride culture and a classical music festival. With schools such as Verbier International School, it combines mountain life with international education.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Verbier. Programs at Verbier International School and summer camps in the area are among the options.
In Verbier you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Switzerland's missions in Turkey for a national (D) visa and residence permit. Language courses usually require enrolment on an intensive program of at least 20 hours a week, substantial proof of funds and a commitment to leave after your studies, and cantonal rules can vary.
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Accommodation in Verbier is usually in schools' campus residences or boarding houses, with meals included.
Switzerland is one of Europe's most expensive countries, and rent, food and transport in Verbier are costly. Arranging accommodation with your course and planning your budget ahead is important.
Verbier is a small mountain village you can get around on foot or by free shuttle, with trains, cog railways or cable cars to nearby towns.

Direct flights from Istanbul to Geneva Airport (GVA) take about 3.5 hours; take the train from Geneva to Le Châble, then the cable car to Verbier; the trip takes about 2.5 hours.
Because Switzerland uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Verbier is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
