  1. A great place to enter the world of design and model planes as well as to meet new people and have fun. Never used the alarm clock as the cows’ bells were there for us each morning, reminding us that we are in Switzerland. The team is absolutely fabulous, experienced, helpful and each of us felt helped and taken care of. To my mum’s happiness I also learned that doing the dishes, cleaning and preparing food is not so horrible! All in all an amazing experience that I am planning to repeat!.
