Food

The chalet does not have official catering. We will self organize breakfast and lunch. Bread will be delivered every morning. Grocery shopping will be organized and help from the participants is expected for and after the meals. Without formal lunch we are more flexible with outdoor activities. We will have full dinner prepared for us by M. Jean Christophe Pergod.
Special food requirements (vegetarian, other) will be arranged on the first evening. Full board is included in the lecture week.

What to bring

Conditions for winter sports are hopefully still good both for cross country as well as for alpine skiing. Please plan accordingly.
Clothing: The lecture week will be very informal, so only casual attire necessary. Please plan for severe weather and winter outdoor activities.
Linen/towel/others: You need to bring your own towel! Furthermore, please bring your soap and hair dryer (if needed).
Sports equipment: Bring your skis, sled, snowboard and red carrot for the snowman.
Sauna: The chalet has a sauna. If you are interested to use it you need to bring your own sauna towel.

Internet

A WLAN access point is available. Please bring your own laptop.

Presentations

Each participant will contribute in a presentation. They will be arranged by the lecturers. The presentation will not be on the own scientific work of the participant but will be connected to the topic of the lecture week. A laptop and projector will be available. In addition flip charts can be used. Presentation time is 30 minutes including discussion.

Expenses

All basic expenses are covered by HGS-HIRe. You only have to pay for local expenses (drinks,etc.). All meals are included.

Though this trip will not generate any costs for your supervisor or group please do not forget to file a trip request so you are covered by insurance during the lecture week. Please ask the secretary of your official supervisor at the university for the appropriate form.

Special notice
