17 JAN 2010-24 JAN 2010: WINTER SPORTS FITNESS WEEK

DETAILS OF THE EVENT PASSED

The Winterfitness week has been put together for us by Dennis Schnieder, the manager of the Bunda, who has a great understanding of the needs of our guests and their ability levels. He will arrange for the equipment fitting at the adjacent Bunda Sport and be on hand to introduce the group to the local guides and tutors.

The Bunda is located on the nursery slopes in Davos and adjacent to the venue for the last world cross country skiing championships - the perfect location for our new programme:

We return to the excellent family run Hotel Bunda for our second Winter Fitness and Nordic Ski week - this is the hotel where our Alpine Marathon groups have been summer guests for the last 23 years and now for the third year the winter fitness group.

You will be welcomed with great enthusiasm by Barbara and Dennis Schnieder and their staff we guarantee you will enjoy the superb buffet breakfast and first class 4-course dinner each day of your stay - our clients on the first two Fitness weeks had a fabulous time at the hotel.

The hotel is in two buildings, the original chalet building which houses the restaurant an a selection of rooms, some with balconies over the front deck. The second part is the modern annex located right next door which has very modern rooms, again some with balconies. All rooms have bathrooms en suite, hairdryer, colour TV and mini bar.
