EdVenture Niseko and Les Elfes launch new lodges and an activity center in Niseko to host ski trips for international schools and foster global youth exchange.
Blending snowsport adventures with structured stay-away experiences, the program encourages personal growth, responsibility, and community bonding. Since opening last year, the Les Elfes EdVenture Niseko partnership has served over 400 students and teachers worldwide.
A new activity center at the heart of the partnership hosts indoor workshops, cultural activities, and communal meals. Students gather here each morning before heading to the slopes and return in the afternoon for team-building, reflection, and rest. Two adjacent lodges accommodate up to 20 students and four teachers each, with en suite bathrooms and modern amenities.
"This expansion follows Les Elfes' ambition to grow internationally as more international schools, particularly in Asia, consider the environmental impact of long-haul travel. Niseko offers the perfect location to meet this need while maintaining Les Elfes' high standards. EdVenture/MnK, with its expertise in real estate and children's camps, was the ideal partner to bring this vision to life," said Alexandra Stettler, CEO of Les Elfes International.
Construction is planned for two additional student lodges, scheduled for completion in December 2025 and set to increase capacity by 48 students and teachers. The program will also begin offering camps beyond the winter season, with summer and fall sessions planned to launch in 2026.
Together, EdVenture and Les Elfes are committed to fostering global connections and lifelong memories for young adventurers by introducing lifelong skills such as communicating with others without a phone or laptop and understanding the value of living in a community away from home. Additionally, students can create a strong social network and strengthen their relationships with classmates.
