Our children are grown up and living in the meantime with their own family/partner. On exceptional cases they may join us. Karin and myself are engaged in social work and partially as teacher/coach/lecturer for young people and immigrants. Over the last 10 years we have done multiple exchanges across the globe and we love diversity in the sense of culture, people and locations as well as outdoor sports.

Read More...We had a wonderful time in Switzerland in august. The Country is like a big postcard and the view from the house is absolutly stunning. Gunter and Karin have been very friendly and very helpful in advising about travelling in their country. The house is just wonderful, it is big and with everything you need in a house. The kitchen for example is very well suited for cooking and family gathering. The balcony and garden are very beautiful and the pool was good for a cool down in the heat we had. Our daughter spent a lot of time in the pool playing. You find wilderness, quietness and friendly neighbours in the surrounding and the glorious view over the lake and to Mount Blanc. We surely recomend this exchange!

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We are living in a residential area with a convenient infrastructure to the next city Nyon (10 min) or Geneva/Lausanne which is a 20-30 min car or train ride. Behind the house several hiking trails are going up into the Jura. In 15 min you can reach the boarder of the lake. Our home is made mainly of wood and glass. In summer we spent most of our time
outside in the garden and on the poolside. The terasse and balcony offers you a great view on the lake and the Mont Blanc. During winter the slopes for skiing for beginners are just 15 min up into Jura or within 1-2 hrs drive you get into the Swiss or French Alpes for the most challenging slopes. For the cold days we can offer a sauna. The months of May to October offer plenty of outdoor events around the Geneva lake (festivals, sport, concerts, etc.). A car can be made available.
