Geneva Trip – Days 3 & 4
Day 3 brought two very different but equally exciting adventures as the group split in half. One group headed to CERN for an unforgettable visit, exploring the Antimatter Factory, G-Bar, ALPHA and LINAC-2. Students had the incredible opportunity to see world-leading scientific research up close and gain a fascinating insight into the ground-breaking work taking place at one of the world's most renowned scientific centres.
Meanwhile, the second group immersed themselves in the history and culture of Geneva, exploring the city's museums before wandering through the picturesque streets of the Old Town. From historic landmarks to hidden gems, there was plenty to discover around every corner.
In the evening, everyone reunited for a fantastic meal at the Edelweiss Restaurant, where students experienced a true taste of Switzerland. Sharing a traditional Swiss cheese fondue together proved to be a real highlight and the perfect way to round off another action-packed day.
Our final day began with a trip to the stunning Mont Salève. A ride on the cable car carried students high above Geneva, treating them to breath-taking views across the city, Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains. For those keen to squeeze in one last adventure, a hike further up the mountain rewarded them with even more spectacular scenery and a real sense of achievement.
Before heading home, students had a few hours of free time to explore, pick up souvenirs and enjoy their final moments in Geneva. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable trip, packed with scientific discovery, cultural experiences, new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
