Skiing

Yes, it's an early start, but yeah, the Uetliberg sunrise trail run is well worth it! If you want to catch the sight of deer crossing paths and an orange Zurich lake with the Alps in the background, this is when you need to go running. We meet at the S-Bahn station Triemli at 07:00 (S-Bahn station, not the roundabout) to go for an amazing loop up and down hills in the forest. Technical information: * Distance: 8-10 km * Elevation gain: 350-450 meters * Speed: approx. 7:30-8:00 min/km Looking forward to running with you!

Just when you thought you could stash the thermal leggings and show some skin - surprise! Winter took one look at your pasty knees and decided to cum again... This week’s trail promises the full Game of Thrones experience: cold winds, possible snow, and the vague sense that nobody will survive past the beer stop. Hares have bravely marked a scenic route through what used to be “springtime” but now promises to be full of that white sticky stuff we all love. Expect shiggy, frozen fingers, and the chance to reflect on your life choices while wondering if hot mulled wine counts as a balanced electrolyte replacement. Circle will be in the Platz next to Wipkingen Bahnhof and on-after will be Gelateria di Berna. **Where**: Wipkingen Bahnhof Mobility car **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

In this gentle aerial yoga class, we use a soft fabric hammock suspended just 10 cm above the floor. The hammock supports your body as you move, helping you stretch more deeply, improve flexibility, and build strength in a new way. With the fabric holding part of your weight, you can explore each pose with more ease, sometimes with a soft sway, sometimes with a bit of challenge. We combine mobility, strength, and relaxation, and finish with a peaceful Savasana in the hammock. The class is in English and open to all levels. * Props provided or bring your own * Drop-in rate CHF 35.-, abos and packages available on studio website and Eversports * Please register and purchase a pass via [Yoga Nest Eversports](https://www.eversports.ch/org/widget/6bb2f0f6-b0ff-4d15-84be-5f9229b128f2?venueId=b336fe38-08c9-45ab-a1d8-3255d21ed886)

Flow through the evening with a dynamic practice blending Hatha and Vinyasa sequences. Together, we will explore the poses and the pauses, with intention and playful transitions. This class will help you build strength and flexibility, and will leave you centered, with renewed energy to end the day. Come as you are - this class is open to all levels. The class is in English. * Mats & props provided or bring your own * Drop-in rate CHF 33.-, abos and packages available on studio website and Eversports * Please register and purchase a pass via [Yoga Nest Eversports](https://www.eversports.ch/org/widget/6bb2f0f6-b0ff-4d15-84be-5f9229b128f2?venueId=b336fe38-08c9-45ab-a1d8-3255d21ed886)

Let’s start our Thursday with a relaxed outdoor walk together with dogs 🐕🌲 This is a weekly, easy-paced morning walk in Leimbach area, perfect to get some fresh air before work and let the dogs move and sniff in nature. Possonoe coffee at Kuhn bakery in Manegg afterwards. **What to expect** • Easy, relaxed pace • Path along the river and green areas **When** 📅 Every Thursday 🕖 07:00 - 08:00 **Where** 📍 Leimbach station **Good to know** We go unless the weather is really bad. If it’s rainy, we keep it short and stay on the flat paths.

On the coming Saturday, March 22, let's go skiing to wonderful Flims-Laax. With an abundance of snow, the forecast promises -6C under 13 hours of sunshine. Train connection: Zurich HB to Chur at 7:38, Chur to Flims Dorf, Bergbahnen at 08:57. I am coming with a car, and can pick up somebody on my way from Baden. We all will meet at the valley station of the gondola to Plaun at 09:30. You won’t miss a tall mate in a bright yellow ski jacket. In any case, I will send a WhatsApp chat invit to all registered participants via PM here on Meetup. I assume all participants have sufficient skiing experience to feel at ease on read slopes and reasonably negotiate black ones. The event is for responsible individuals who ski at their own risk.

Day Trip Announcement: Zurich HB to Kandersteg + Oeschinen Lake Hike Description of walk: Join us for a scenic day trip from Zurich HB to Kandersteg on Sunday, 29 March 2026. We will take the 08:32 IC1 train from platform 32, traveling in the direction of Genève-Aéroport, and arrive in Kandersteg at 10:40. The total train journey is 2 hours 8 minutes. From Kandersteg, we will continue with a beautiful hike around Oeschinen Lake, following a circular route. The walk offers classic alpine scenery, with lake views, mountain surroundings, and a varied route that makes it ideal for a full outdoor day. There is train connection from Kandersteg everyhour in direction to Bern. The idea is to leave back from Kandersteg around 5 pm but it can be discussed the day of the hike. Please note: Each participant is responsible for themselves during the hike.

(Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins. But you can already enter the corresponding WhatsApp group) If you are concerned about privacy, only the admin of a WhatsApp channel can see who has voted in a poll (unlike a WhatsApp group). Please sign up only when you are certain! You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!
