Wellness Weekend 2005
March 12-13, 2005
IAESTE LC Zurich breaks the winter silence by proposing you a
weekend in Graubünden, the easternmost canton of Switzerland. We
will head to the region of Lenzerheide, famous for offering
a large amount of winter activities!
So what is this event about? No skiing or snowboarding this time,
but one sentence says it all: in only one weekend, we offer you ice
skating, swimming, fitness, sledging, toboggan, and a very relaxing
visit to thermal baths!
But there is more! Guess what? Since FIS (Fédération
Internationale de Ski, the International Ski Federation) is holding the
World Cup final races in
the region during this weekend, Lenzerheide will turn into the coolest
party area of Switzerland! We will be there.
Looking forward to spend a great weekend with you!
