Whether you need a boarding shortlist aimed at European universities, a real Summer/Winter Camp before a bigger commitment, or clear-eyed Swiss property/hotel investment — this page is for you. ArenOne builds real shortlists; buying property alone does not create Swiss residency, and we say that plainly.
Swiss boarding — shortlist to settling in
Parents usually ask which school fits their child — not which is cheapest. We focus on IB, multilingual campuses and EU/US university pathways, with admission, guardianship and parent reporting end-to-end.
- Budget & university-goal shortlists
- Test/interview prep
- Student visa & guardianship
- Optional Summer Camp readiness trial
Summer & Winter Camp — try before you commit
Many families start with a short camp to see how their child thrives internationally. Summer for language and independence; Winter for ski and Alpine life. Seats fill fast — we bundle early booking, visa and sports insurance.
- 2–6 week sessions
- Supervision & family reporting
- Sports insurance for ski/Alps
- Optional bridge into boarding
Property & boutique hotels — capital with hard rules
Premium market, strict non-resident rules. We verify legal eligibility and financial models before any offer — no fake residency promises from buying property or a hotel.

Frequently asked questions
What does Swiss boarding cost?
Often about CHF 70–120k+/year depending on school and services. We filter by a real budget; the cheapest school is not always the best university path.
How do Summer Camp and Winter Camp differ?
Summer Camp leans language, group life and independence; Winter Camp leans ski and Alpine life. Both have limited seats; under-age stays need supervision and insurance.
Switzerland or the UK for boarding school?
Switzerland is usually multilingual and IB-heavy with higher fees; the UK is the classic A-Level brand at a typically lower annual cost. Choice depends on budget, language and target universities. See the UK destination page for the other side.
Does Swiss property or a boutique hotel create residency?
Not as a general rule. Cantonal limits for foreign buyers are strict, and ownership alone is not a residency/passport path. We clarify legal eligibility and financials only — no fake promises.
