What we’re about

  1. You want to practice and improve your German but don’t want to spend your evenings locked in yet another classroom listening to the teacher’s grammar monologues, you want to “live” the language now that you got to a B1-B2 level.
  2. You want to keep regularly active and prefer the outdoors to the gym environment.

Welcome to the club!

This group is for people in Zurich and surroundings who are determined to learn German in Switzerland and enjoy spending time being active outdoors.

The idea is to have regular after-work walk up the Uetliberg (or similar effort outdoors around the Zurich area) and use the time to practice German together.

There is no competition and no hard goal other than enjoying an evening outside keeping to a healthy regular physical practice and learning together.

If you are a fluent German speaker and are just interested in a regular after work hike to keep fit and don't mind listening to broken German then you are also more than welcome :)

“We rarely think about change this way because everyone is consumed by the end goal. But one push-up is better than not exercising. One minute of guitar practice is better than none at all. One minute of reading is better than never picking up a book. It’s better to do less than you hoped than to do nothing at all.”
James Clear, Atomic Habits

IMPORTANT
I am not a professional guide. You are responsible for assessing each event as if you were planning it independently.

Each event is arranged as a casual meetup of independent adults getting together over a common interest.

You participate on your own authority and entirely at your own risk. You particularly need to assure adequate assessment of the risks, preparation, equipment and insurance cover as if you were going by yourself.
