Alps outing before BCERC

[Read, Stuart]

Dear Effectuators,

 

Im sure there will be more lofty intellectual conversation on this email list in the future.  But for now, Im offering fun.  If you are coming to BCERC here in Lausanne this summer, come a couple of days early.  Im organizing an overnight trip to an alpine hut in the Swiss Alps.  We (me, my wife Teri and our two boys) have lived here for 5 years now, this is one of the things about Switzerland we like the most, and Im happy to share it with you if youd like.  Heres the program:

 

> Monday morning, June 7th (not too early), we leave Lausanne

> Its about a 2 hour drive to the start of the trail (Ill organize transportation)

> We hike for about 2 hours (not technical, but strenuous alpine hiking)

> Views, glaciers, mountain wildflowers and maybe even a marmot if we're lucky

> We arrive at the hut with a fire where they prepare dinner and have simple bunks

> All you need to bring is a day pack with water, a couple of layers and good hiking shoes

> In the morning, they serve us breakfast to prepare us for our hike down

> We will be back to Lausanne by Tuesday evening in time for the doctoral consortium on Wednesday

> It costs around chf 60

 

All you need to do is let me know you are interested (any time between now and the end of April) and Ill get it organized.  Looking forward to seeing you here in Lausanne!

 

Best, Stuart

Dear Stuart,

I am attending the Babson conference this summer and would very much like to join your overnight trip to the alpine hut. Is there still room? The program looks great and I've always wanted to hike in the Alps!

Look forward to your reply,

Neil

Dear Neil -

 

Absolutely!  I just got a note from the people who run the hut.  They told me they are just getting ready to open for the spring, and though they still have a lot of snow right now, they are looking forward to seeing us in June.  Once I know who all is coming, Ill be sending around notes organizing pickup from where you're staying in Lausanne. 

 

Please send me your email address directly (cant seem to get it from this note).  Thank you.

 

Best, Stuart
