IAESTE Wellness Weekend 2005
November 12-13, 2005

Lenzerheide
IAESTE LC Zurich offers you the Wellness Weekend 2005

So what does 'wellness' mean? Normally it means that you have a relaxed time, going to a thermal bath, visiting a sauna or a massage. But NOT this time!

This time wellness means that we have a weekend full of sports- and fun-activities. We will have the possibility to go ice-skating, swimming, climbing, tobogganing and visiting a thermal bath. Check out the details below for more information.

Looking forward to spending a great weekend with you!

Bina and Jörg

Program

Saturday, November 12
  • start of the weekend at Chur railway station
  • transfer to Churwalden by postal bus
  • drop our bags at the accommodation and have lunch
  • spend the afternoon at Dieschen sport center in Vaz/Obervaz, with two alternatives (you can choose on the event day)
    • indoor swimming pool, or
    • indoor ice-skating
  • go back to our accommodation, have dinner and get ready for the evening
  • partying in Lenzerheide!
Sunday, November 13
  • have breakfast, packing and get ready for another great day!
  • go to Seilpark where you can show your courage and talent in dexterity
  • Tobogganing in Churwalden, on the longest toboggan slope in the world (3.1 km length, 480 m height difference)
  • pick up our luggage, have lunch and transfer to Bad Ragaz
  • relaxing at Tamina Thermal Baths
  • end of the weekend, heading home

Please be aware that the program may change because of the weather. If it is raining on Sunday we will probably not go to Seilpark because we would get wet and dirty. Tobogganing is also not possible if the track is wet. We will have a look at the weather forecast and decide about the program on Friday, November 11. There will be an alternative program for bad weather but we haven't decided what it will be.
