Study Abroad in French Alps
The French Alps offer a stunning landscape of snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and picturesque mountain towns. Nestled in the heart of the Alps is our study abroad program, which provides American college students with an unforgettable opportunity to immerse themselves in French language and culture while studying at a prestigious university in the region.
Located just a few hours from Geneva, Switzerland, our program offers easy access to some of the world's most breathtaking natural wonders, including Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe, and the Aiguille du Midi, a stunning summit with unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains.
In addition to its natural beauty, the French Alps region boasts a rich cultural heritage, with numerous museums, art galleries, and historic landmarks to explore. One popular attraction is the Château de Chambéry, a medieval castle that once served as the seat of the House of Savoy. The town of Annecy, known as the "Venice of the Alps," is also a must-visit destination, with its charming canals, winding streets, and colorful houses.
For those interested in outdoor activities, the French Alps offer a wide range of opportunities, from skiing and snowboarding in the winter to hiking, biking, and paragliding in the summer. The region also has a thriving culinary scene, with a variety of delicious local specialties to sample, including fondue, raclette, and tartiflette.
As with any study abroad program, safety is a top priority for our students. The French Alps region is generally considered safe, with low levels of crime and a friendly local community. The program also provides comprehensive support services to ensure that students have a positive and fulfilling experience while abroad.
