We are expecting a lot of fresh snow the next coming days!

We gathered some friends and partners of the hotel to try the pre-season and spend the weekend with us! Here are a couple of nice photos from it, taken by Carl Beijer.

“The sitting Buddha” seen from the top of Mount Titlis. The Friday was this season’s first skiing day for many of us. Everyone was so excited by this, so no pictures were taken from the slopes!

The day after, some went skiing, some stayed in the village having a massage or just wandered the village. Some decided to go hiking.

80 people, among them many local friends, were randomly seated for the Saturday’s fondue night. It’s nice to make new friends!

A relative to one of the staff members had in secret planned an event: 15-20 men with enormous cowbells came and played for us! Classic Swiss culture, fantastic! (Although the ear plugs we got beforehand were necessary.)

The evening continued. Here: the Swiss shows the Swedes how to use the ‘snuff’ (smoke free tobacco).

The master of improvisation: our guest and friend Christoffer Wallin was much appreciated on stage in the bar!

After an intense Saturday night, many of us slept late and used the Sunday for indoor activities like tennis.

Thanks everyone who joined this trip, and also the people who were already in the village!
