Set in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, Lucerne is already a magnet for English speakers looking to improve their German skills in this idyllic town of 85,000 people.

Indeed, Lucerne’s location and community make it an ideal destination for students of all kinds. And at the heart of if all is the Swiss Education Group, which has not one, but two schools in the heart of the city.

And by sharing a beautiful campus in a magnificent former hotel, Swiss Education Group’s César Ritz Colleges / Culinary Arts Academy facilities bring the best of both worlds together, offering the finest in hospitality and culinary training.

Choosing to study in the region offers up an idyllic learning environment combined with an excellent social life for hospitality students. Lake Lucerne offers up plenty of activities to stay active, from paddle boarding to water skiing, while the city itself offers plenty of shops and al fresco dining for browsing or lounging in the sunshine after class.

Perhaps nothing better exemplifies Lucerne’s hospitality culture than the famed Villa Honegg. Located a mere 30 minutes from Swiss Education Group’s campus, this beautiful, 5-star boutique hotel offers spectacular views over the mountains from its heated outdoor pool. It’s a truly unforgettable experience for its pampered guests.

And the Villa Honegg restaurant, with 14 Gault-Milau points, serves up locally sourced and regional cuisine, making for a perfect blend of hospitality and culinary perfection – and an inspiration for aspiring hospitality students who enrol at one of Swiss Education Group’s Lucerne schools.

Another benefit of summer enrolment is more preparation time for Swiss Education Group’s bi-annual International Recruitment Forum, held in Montreux each March and October.
