German courses in Germany

German Youth Camp
at Alpincenter Obertauern

  • Teenagers from all over the world
  • Day trips included
  • Cultural and leisure programme
  • 56 lessons over 2 weeks

Our two-week German Language Summer Programs take place in Obertauern, which is situated 1,600 m above sea level, surrounded by the mountains of the Salzburger Land. The best way to explore them is by hiking. Take one of the many cable cars for the first part of the ascent and enjoy the panorama of the Alps on the way.
That’ll give you a lot to put on your Instagram account. In the crisp and clean alpine air learning German works particularly well at the Goethe-Institut youth summer camp.

Learn German – the adventure of your life

Our language camp participants in the mountains around Salzburg will be in one of the most beautiful surroundings that Austria has to offer, and that means something. Many of the 3- or 4-bed rooms with shower and bathroom, in which the students are living for two weeks, have a wonderful view from their window onto the Alpine summits.

We offer the language camp participants many leisure and sports activities, whether in the beautiful landscape around us or directly at our youth hotel. Of course, they have to complete their German lessons first, which consist of two blocks of lessons in the morning and three to four times a week one block in the afternoon. Between two teaching blocks, there are breaks with refreshments and drinks, and at lunchtime, we eat together in the beautiful dining room of our youth-friendly accommodation. As with breakfast and dinner, there will always be a vegetarian option.

On weekends and after classes, our students can enjoy their free time, whether on the footbal (= soccer) field right in front of the hotel or in the hotel's own sports hall in case of bad weather. Indoors, the hotel also has a lot to offer and impresses with its modern and high-quality equipment.           
Of course, we also offer hiking tours in this wonderful environment. Alpine meadows, clear mountain lakes and peaks up to 3000 metres want to be discovered.

City trip and alpine adventure

In order to give our language camp participants the opportunity to use their new German language skills, we make field trips, for example to Salzburg. The historic city center has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996. A stroll through the alleys and small market places conveys a feeling for the life of the people during the baroque and rococo period. This is the time and the place where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born, a fact that Salzburg is visibly proud of. The Hohensalzburg Fortress is one of the largest castle complexes in Europe and worth an extended visit.

The magnificent Hellbrunn Palace with its famous trick fountains is also a great place to visit. But the language summer camp students will also have a lot of fun in the immediate vicinity of Obertauern, like the high ropes course or with the cows on the mountain pastures.
