Les Diablerets 2003

Ski & Party

The Ultimate Event of IAESTE in Winter 2003

5th to 7th December 2003

Panorama

For trainees in Switzerland, LC members, alumnies and all IAESTE people all over the world.

Switzerland, the greatest skiing country in the world, and IAESTE LC Lausanne, offer you a weekend you won't ever forget.

No matter if you have never seen snow before in your life or if you are a world champion in downhill racing: This weekend is for you! We will offer skiing classes for the beginners and ski races for the pros, hot wine and fondue for the real chalet experience and a neverending party that will tiren even the toughest party addicts!

Programme

Friday 5th December
From 9pm on, we meet at the chalet for a "vin chaud" (warm alcoholic beverage) and snacks at the chalet warming party. Please bring your own food for Friday evening.
Saturday 6th December
Ski rental for those who don't have the skiing or snowboarding equipment. Skiing and sunbathing on the glacier during the day. If you're not an experienced skier, lessons will be given by our professional staff :-) Finally, there will be a relaxing evening program: we will have a typical fondue after this skiing day. Then, we'll start drinking, dancing, playing games and maybe we'll manage to fit a movie projection.
Sunday 7th December
More skiing and sunbathing during the day and trip back home in the evening after having a warm soup.

For Skiing or Snowboarding

For skiing, the following equipment can be rented: skis, sticks, boots.

We organize ski rental in les Diablerets. Please select the appropriate field in the registration form if you want to rent skis/boots.

In addition to this, you must bring with you warm clothes (skiing clothes are recommended), gloves, a cap, sunglasses and sun cream.

Renting snowboard equipment is also possible. Only the board and boots can be rented. You must bring appropriate clothes. If you are interested, please write this on the registration form.

In order to use the skilifts, you'll need a ski pass (select the appropriate field on the registration form).

Particularly for people that had never skiied before, we organize classes (for free).

Especially Don't Forget

Warm clothes
Skiing or snowboarding pants (these can be rented, but you have to pay extra money for it)

Sun cream, sunglasses, winter hat, thick socks
Slippers, towel and all the necessary to be clean after a skiing day and to be dressed up and sexy for the night dinners and parties
Sleeping bags: if you don’t have one, there will be some warm blankets, but you have to bring light sheets to cover the bed

If you like some special kind of music, please take your compact discs (write your name on the cover). Prepare some fun games - and if you happen to have a good bottle from your country, don't leave it at home!

Transportation to the Place

The cheapest way to reach Les Diablerets is to use "Gleis 7" or a "SBB/CFF General Abonnement", but you may have to pay one part of the trip with "Gleis 7" (i.e. the part before 7pm).

Look below for the train timetable. You may all take the same train so you can have fun together during the trip also.

From Zürich
This year, the buses will be organized only if really needed, because almost everybody has "Gleis 7". So, if you don't have "Gleis 7", you have to mention it in the registration form and discuss with Claudio from LC Zurich. The timetable for the trains is the following: `\| Arr. Dep. \| Arr.
