Another team event allowed Nancy to visit quintessential Switzerland for three days - Grindelwald. This village is surrounded by terrific mountains (Mönch, Eiger and Jungfrau among others) and the Roche team was able to participate in several outdoor activities while we were there. Our first evening out, we took a bus up to Bussalp to start the Big Pintenfritz: the longest toboggan run in Europe (15km). Everyone got a sled, a light for their head and some simple instructions before we left. Mid-way we stopped at a terrific place for a wonderful fondue dinner before finishing the sledding. The next day we took the train to Kleine Scheidegg and started downhill on traditional velogemels (snow bikes). Before we got to the bottom we created some snow sculptures like the ones they create for the winter snow festival every January. Robert joined us on Friday evening so he could go skiing on Saturday. See the skiing pictures here, see pictures from the "workshop" here.
