Thu Feb 25 CAOS Snowshoeing evening 17:15 GEN (Pléïades)

Send your answer to the CAOS invitation as soon as possible.

Bonjour fellow Batimenticiens,

The Caos organizes an USB (Universal Snowshoeing evening of the Batiment). Ok, admittedly this adds up as USSEOTB. Can you pronounce it? So we stick to USB.

The Place and Time are:

Date: February 25th 2010
Time: 5.15 pm at G-point or 6pm on the parking “des Motalles”

map and infos on the trip:

After the outdoor experience, it is always a nice idea to soak your clothes in the typical odor of Swiss cuisine, therefore we will have a FONDUE at the restaurant which will especially for us stay open a bit longer.

The trip is very easy and will not leave you breathless in the middle of nowhere, no matter if your condition is sporty or not. The important thing is to have fun with some of your nice colleagues. The trip is 6km and it will take approximately less than two hours to complete.

The location is a place above Montreux, which is supposed to be one of Switzerland’s nicest places and will provide a breathtaking view on the lake and the mountains by night.

You need warm hiking boots, jacket, gloves, pants, hat and a small lamp (headlamp) as well as the snowshoes AND ski sticks (who would have guessed it takes so much).

In case you have an extra pair of snowshoes/ski sticks, it would be great if you could bring them and inform CAOS about it.

In case you need to rent the material, you can do so in les Pléïades. However, it would be good if you informed us while registering, so we can organize a bit. Also, it would be beneficial to know how many people are coming by car so we can share the places and be more ecological.

Those who cannot stand the beautiful panorama without it might bring a pocket flask filled with high percentage liqueur.

Inscription is required as there are a limited number of places available.
