We provide simple accommodation for volunteers in the Sportzentrum (google map location). It is a few minutes from the finish line in the Dorfplatz, and directly on the route the runners enter the village.
Address: Sportzentrum, Flurstrasse, 3925 Grächen, Switzerland.
Communication
We have a whatsapp group for all volunteers sleeping and / or eating in the Sportzentrum. Please join this so that we can keep in touch with you and let you know about meal times and other housekeeping etc. Thank you!
Bed allocation
We have 2 dormitories (male / female). Bed allocation is self service!
There will be laundry provided but we need to pay per use. If you take a set or part set please strip your bed if you leave for a night (so someone else can use it) and put your sheets in a bag to wait for your return. Bags and labels will be provided. Towels are separate.
If you can bring your own towel and a sleeping bag then it is simple and very easy for you!
Food
The kitchen on the first floor will be stocked with food. Breakfast and lunch materials will be provided, please help yourself. There will be good coffee! For fresh bread the bakeries are a few minutes walk.
Sunday 31st August to Friday 5th September: there will be vegetarian food available for meals / evening dinners in the kitchen on the first floor. Volunteers will be cooking the meals. If you are in Grächen and have no specific duties please find the volunteer cook for that day and offer your help with preparations. Thank you!
Saturday 6th September: food is provided at the finish line throughout the day, and please collect a ticket from Lizzy for the evening closing meal celebration in the Dorfplatz.
Sportzentrum refridgerator & shelves: if you bring your own supplies please label them so that others are aware.
Please note that we can’t reimburse you if you go to eat at a restaurant in the village!
Valuables
The Sportzentrum is not staffed, this means that we need to leave the building open for you. If you have valuables please bring to Lizzy in the Sportzentrum Office and we will take care of them.
Departure
We need to leave the upstairs of the Sportzentrum (kitchen, dining, dormitory etc) by 09.00h on Monday 8th September so that it is clear for the arrival of another group. If you plan to leave later or on Tuesday 9th please let Lizzy know as soon as possible so that we can make arrangements.
Please make sure you clear all your personal items (including any food in the kitchen/refridgerator), and place any used linen in the trolley by the exit downstairs. We would be very grateful for help with cleaning the kitchen, disposing of recycling etc.
Don’t forget to check the table in the Sportzentrum hangar for any left over food or other things free for you to take away!
Enjoy your stay!
