A limited number of single rooms are available for an additional charge (approx. CHF 30 per night).

This cost sharing does not apply if the participant has reserved a single room in advance. You bring your own snacks for the tours. We have the opportunity to shop in Ulrichen. Tea is included in the price and will be handed out at the hotel.

Insurances: The participant undertakes to take out adequate insurance cover. Cancellation insurance is strongly recommended for these tours. If you do not have cancellation insurance, you will be charged for any costs incurred.

You will then receive the relevant form with the tour confirmation. The policy and premium invoice will be issued directly by AXA Winterthur.
