I guess we might be safe in saying that no other student kitchen can compete with its astounding view from the IMI kitchen on Kastanienbaum campus. Moreoever, it is a fully equipped state of the art kitchen ready to support students in their task to become culinary arts professionals.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided from Monday to Friday. Brunch and dinner is served during mid-term breaks, public holidays, revision week, as well as weekends.

Recreation Activities on Campus - Summer and Winter

Not only will you be studying within one of Switzerland's most beautiful environments, but thanks to IMI's Student Activities Coach Ms Young, our students have the chance to chill out between studies and get themselves into various sporting activities. IMI students can join in and experience traditional as well as XXX-sports in winter and the summer season. Every semester IMI students have an ever popular IMI Sportsday where they can compete among themselves as well as with IMI staff members in sports such as Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Tug of War, Badminton, Chess, Pool, Table Tennis and more. The winners receive medals that are given during the graduation ceremony.

In addition to Sportsday, a range of sports and leisure activities are available on the premises or in the surrounding area, including snow sports, sailing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, football, mountain-biking, ice-skating, roller-skating, tennis, volleyball and many more. A fitness room, student kitchen, TV lounge, table tennis and a billiards room are available as part of IMI's facilities.

The Student Council and IMI staff organise sporting, social and cultural events, most of which are funded by the school. Lucerne hosts a world famous music festival each year and its Carnival is not to be missed.
