We look forward to welcoming you to Lenzerheide soon. Please have a look at our website (link below), which comprises updated information on the event. Waypoint- and Airspace-files will follow. The landing site of the Swisscup Lenzerheide will be in Parpan, just next to the headquarters, which will be in the Bistro 1500 at the Heimberg-parking. The Bistro 1500 offers breakfast, snacks including sandwiches for the tasks, and will be the place of our grill-event Saturday evening. The Heimberg parking is an official bus-camping and the building of Bistro 1500 accordingly comprises toilets and showers. In order to approximately know how many buses (camper, no tents) will be at the camperspace and how many participants will be taking part in the grill party on Saturday, please reply before Friday 24th of May by filling out this doodle (link below). • Please select the nights you would like to spend on the camperspace. Registration is important in order for the campsite to organize the permission to host more busses than usual. The cost of the camping is 25.00CHF per night per bus plus 4.50CHF tourist tax per person and night. • In the same doodle, please indicate whether you are participating at the grill party. Vol Liber Grischun will sponsor the side dishes, Bistro 1500 offers softdrinks & broad collection of meat/sausages/veggies for 15CHF/person. Please fill out this checkbox for every participant, i.e. if e.g. two persons are staying in one bus, please fill out the doodle twice, whereof once only checking the grill party checkbox. For reasonably priced accommodation other than the camping, close-by options are Grischalodge, Stätzerhorn, Kiwi-Lodge, or Stätz-Damiez (a bit further away). There are of course numerous other accomodation options at Lenzerheide. We look forward to welcoming you at Lenzerheide!

Ist das Wetter schlecht, bleibt dafür Zeit um in den Sachen weiterzukommen, die gewöhnlich zu kurz kommen! Wir haben auch zum ersten Mal den Swiss Olympic Rumpfkrafttest durchgeführt. Er ist in fast allen Sportarten ein Standard. Vielen Dank den AthletInnen für das Engagement. Es war eine Freude zu sehen, wie ihr an die Sache ran gegangen seid und wie wir von der Leitungsseite her die Entwicklung sehen durften! Daneben blieb viel Zeit, um in fremde Sportarten reinzuschauen und am Teamgeist zu arbeiten.

Kein Flugwetter heisst nicht, nichts tun! Wir arbeiten an den Details, um weiterzukommen! Gegen Tagesende reichte es aber dennoch für ein kleines Hike&Fly, wobei sich die Routenfindung im Tessiner Bergwald nicht als ganz trivial gestaltete...
