  Getting rid of the wiki   General (0)

  At last year’s Bergtagung, the wiki proved less of a success than we had hoped for. We do want to keep our information editable for everyone, so the spirit of a wiki is fine, but that means we have to maintain two separate systems and battle spammers on both fronts.

  Ye Olde Webbecamme 2007 Time-Lapse   General (0)

  There’s a time-lapse video of the Bergtagung 2007 webcam, which dutifully saved all the pictures it transmitted to the intarweb. And what do you know, we also have a YouTube link. Original video is in XviD format, no audio, and will be uploaded as soon as time permits.

After a good three hour walk up a random mountain, where five of us ate dried meat, enjoyed the view into the valley and sat on a bench like proper elderly mountain people, we headed back to the village to give the Bergtagung building a good […]

  Limited Beer Selection in Ilanz   General (0)

  I did some reconnaissance work on my way up and took pictures of the beer selection at the Coop in Ilanz. As you can see on the photographs, the selection of special beers is rather limited and quite expensive. Still, we can go there and get beer in a pinch.
  But there’s a way out of […]

  Bringing a Sleeping Bag is a Good Idea   General, Breaking News (0)

  As you might have seen on the pricing page, the sleeping options we have consist of basic bed frames with wool blankets. If you’d like a more luxurious bedding, please bring your sleeping bag along with you. Those have much better thermal properties. Mmmmh, thermal properties.

  Crazy Weather in Switzerland   General (2)

  Wondering what clothes to bring to the Bergtagung? Relax! We don’t know either!
  The weather is increasingly erratic over Switzerland at the moment, some days going from cold rain and 10°C in the morning to humid 26°C in the afternoon (in Zürich). Siat, on the other hand, has a bit less frequent weather changes and about […]
