+About Fiesch: The Venue
During the Conference we’ll be staying at the ‘Sport- und Feriencenter’ in
Fiesch, Switzerland.
Fiesch is located in the south of Switzerland, close to the boarder to Italy. If
you think about Switzerland one of the first things that will come to your mind
are mountains and that’s what you’re going to get! The elevation is 1’049m, so
it’s far up in the mountains. Whether it’s during the day, during the night or in
the morning, this location offers you an amazing view on the apls. Fiesch has
even been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site for its view of the
Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area.
Our venue is usually used as a youth hostel but during Do It we rent pretty
much the whole site to have enough space for all our delegates.
Last but not least: Snow. Depending on how rough the winter is going to be
there is a pretty high chance that we’ll get snow.
