It is about 1 hour and 40 minutes with public transport from Winterthur to the Talstation Unterwasser.
From the valley station Unterwasser we can take the new funicular to Chäserrugg.
At Chäserrugg we can do all sorts of snow based activities.
As always it is a very relaxed weekend, feel free to come along for as much of the weekend as you want and do whatever you want.
How it is going to work:
Suzanne and Catherine have booked a room in Hotel Sternen in Unterwasser https://www.sternen.biz/en/home-en/ and will be there from about 5:00 pm Friday evening.
There are three fixed points you need to know about for the rest of the weekend:
On Saturday morning we will all meet at 10:30 at hotel Sternen reception.
After we meet, people will be free to split up and do whatever activities they want. Please book your hire gear, lessons, ski tickets yourself.
On Saturday evening we will book a table at the restaurant in the hotel Sternen for 19:00h for anyone who wants to join us.
On Sunday morning we will meet again at hotel Sternen.
What you need to do, if you want to join us.
1 - Decide when you are coming, just for a day or for the whole weekend, or whatever you want.
2 - Accept the meetup invite and write a comment or send a message to Suzanne or Catherine saying when you are coming. They will book a table for everyone for dinner for Saturday night, so please let Suzanne or Catherine know if you do NOT want to join us for that.
3 - Book your hotel. The hotel Sternen in Unterwasser is central, looks the biggest and at time of writing has rooms free.
4 - Decide on your travel arrangements.
You can come by public transport or drive to Unterwasser.
That's it!
One thing to remember, we are not teachers or guides. This trip will be a group of friends going away for the weekend, so we and the club assume no responsibility for you. That said, Swiss mountain resorts are well organised, with good signs and well cleared trails.
If you haven't been on this sort of weekend before, feel free to talk to Suzanne or Catherine about it.
