Planning other things
There are many more things of course! Just browse the internet. This is a good start: Swiss tourist information. More ideas can also be found on our web page containing links about Switzerland. If you need some more information ask other IAESTE trainees, people from the Local Committee, most of them show up on the Weekly Meeting. Or write an email to the unofficial mailing list: e-mail list.
