Yes it will happen again for the 8th consecutive year

What is that Fucking NYE Event ?

It all started the first time in a small hut where we spend a night or two with 20 people.
It is international and with all the years we can count a lot of represented nationalities like Greek, Italian, French, German, Czech, Spanish, Pakistani, Hungarian, Peru, Turkish, Netherlander, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Canadian, Slovenian, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Australian, U.S. Citizen, Colombian, Estonian, Chinese, Polish and Swiss of course... and I am probably missing some.

The first time we did it without any electricity, lost in the mountain and then more comfort arrive.
The program was always to take it easy and people form groups to share activities.
This year we will return out of the path (almost) and be in the middle of the mountain but close to ski slopes.

The event is organized for you (couchsurfers) to meet people and enjoy New Year Eve with others instead of staying in front of your TV.
It will start the 30th of December and finish the 3rd of January (one extra night is possible for a few people helping to organize).
As usually there will be about 40 - 50 bastards willing to pay the participation fee in advance and that agree to be nice with the organizer.

If you have ideas for special activities, send me a message.

And important thing, there'll be no jaccuzzi this year (first reason to have less to organize, so I can more enjoy the event and second reason to be able to find any place for the hut).

Sharing

We will all participate for cooking, cleaning, prepare coffee for the others, give Giuze a nice massage, etc... you don't come to stay by your own 🙂

NEWS…..

###########################################

You probably know it yet, the mountain is more green than white and it seems we will just need our hiking shoes.
We will find some stuff to do, there's cheese or chocolate factory to visit, the village of Gruyère, thermal bath, kilometers of hiking trail, card boards and nice people to talk with.
You can also prepare a workshop if you have some stuff you want to share.
Check anyway the forecast a few days before to know which clothes you need to take.

For the funicular, it is open until 16:30 (maybe exeptionnal ride possible with the personal but not guaranteed) so be in time or you will have to walk up.
To get a group price, you need to be 10 to buy the tickets at the same time.

For the drink o'clock, you can make team so you can share the costs with the other person or just do something simple 😉

###########################################

And what will we do during 4 days ?

During the day, just find someone that is ready to stand you and go for some ski, snowshoes or do some snowball fights if you don’t stand the other anymore! If you are lazy or afraid of cold, just stay inside the hut, play card, sleep, drink or just be a zombie the whole day.

If you have ideas for special activities, send me a message.

And important thing, there’ll be no jaccuzzi this year (first reason to have less to organize, so I can more enjoy the event and second reason to be able to find any place for the hut).

How to get there

I told you, up there on that fucking white mountain. Ok... exactly at 46°33'17.0" N and 7°01'21.8" E where a nice hut (I hope so) is waiting for us. The hut is directly on the ski slopes about 300m from the ski lift or funicular arrival.

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING

The access cannot be made by car and you need to walk with snowshoes up or to take the funicular until Plan-Francey. The funicular runs until ... check the news as 6pm was apparently for summer and costs an extra 14.-chf (not included into this event).

You are responsible to carry your bags, equipment and drinks. We will also ask you to carry some of the food that we bought for the main meals.

Direction

  • By car: Go to that place than take the funicular till the end or use your snowshoes. Parking information will follow. Share the ride with other if you have a place in your car, fill this form to offer a ride or if you need one or use blablacar.
  • By train: Check on sbb.ch and enter "1663 Moléson-sur-Gruyères, Plan-Francey" as destination (it works also if you start in Germany for example).
  • By plane: Nearby airports are Geneva, Bern. Zürich and Basel are not so far and have good access with train. Try rome2rio especially for big distance

Enough information, I want my ticket now !!!

We are in Switzerland but we make it cheap so the price is 155 CHF, it includes the place to sleep for 4 nights, the food and some extra.
I am sorry but the payment is ONLY available through Paypal (You just need to enter your info if you don't have any account yet)

Sold out – Join the waiting list

Contact me and I will tell you in case someone cancel his/her participation.

Drink O’Clock

For the last 24 hours of the year, we will have a drink o'clock event, 1 drink every hour. 24 groups of 2 people will prepare a drink together for everybody else (1 glass per person and we are 50), can be a shot, or can be a cocktail.
