Directions from International Airport Orlando (Red Point) to
Swiss Ski School (Green Point)
From the airport go North until you see the exit for the "Bee Line"
(Highway 528 West, a toll road)
on your right; the sign will say direction Tampa. You take the Bee Line for 8 to12 miles and then take Exit 4 for the
"Florida Turnpike". Unfortunately, the Turnpike is not well indicated; the sign shows the map of the state of
Florida with the word "Turnpike" in small letters written above.
On the Turnpike head North (Ocala, Leesburg, Wildwood) and get off at Exit 272 which is for Highway 50,
Clermont.
Take a left turn onto Highway 50 West to Clermont. Drive straight through Clermont and keep on going west on Highway 50. Shortly after leaving Clermont you will see a sign that says "Groveland City Limit"
(Even though we belong to the town of Clermont you pass the Groveland sign because our 565 South will bring you back towards Clermont!).
At the next traffic light you will see the "Publix" supermarket on the right, this is the junction of Hwy. 565A
North: Do not take it. A little further you will see a small sign on the right hand side that says
"Green Isle Children's Ranch". This is the junction with County Road 565A South. It can be recognized by the large billboard announcing
"Swiss Ski School".
Make a left onto 565A South and take it for about 2 miles. You will see the entrance on the left hand side clearly marked "Swiss Ski School" on the wall. Pass through the
entrance (Make sure you will not leave the gate code at home!). 200 yards from there and on your right you will see the small building with an "Office" sign. Probably you will be greeted by our very friendly but sometimes noisy dogs!
