What? Come and experience a crazy weekend in the Swiss mountains!
To start the weekend off right, Friday afternoon will be full of board games and other fun activities to get to know each other, before the real weekend starter - a Glow in the Dark Party. For this event, make sure you bring an old white t-shirt, to let your creativity run wild. If this is your first fluo party, you’re going to love it.
On Saturday you will have the opportunity to choose between three different activities:
First, you can choose between two types of winter sports: Snowshoeing (it's like walking but with snowshoes on your feet) and Cross-Country Skiing. * **
If you’re not really into winter sports, you can opt for a relaxing afternoon at the Thermal Baths.
For the last party of the Welcome Week, on Saturday night, cups will become illegal! Bring the craziest cup-substitute you can think of and join us for the Anything But Cups Party! It will do the trick as long as:
- It's not a cup
- You can drink from it
- It fits through the door
The theme is XXXXXXX! The best container AND costume will be rewarded. We can’t wait to see your non-cup!
Finally, on our way back to Lausanne on Sunday, we will make a short stop in Sion, for you to discover the best city of Switzerland (well.. this is only according to people from Sion).
*Please note that we need snow to do these activities and that if there is not enough snow, we will do a hike with a restaurant lunch instead. If there are any changes to the programme, we will inform you before departure for the chalet.
**Also note that for these activities, you will be much more comfortable in a snowsuit (at least a sports suit) and winter boots. We strongly recommend that you dress accordingly (or you will quickly get wet and/or cold, and you will hate us, which will make us very sad :( )
