Various Information

Instructions for Speakers

Please bring your talk on a CD-PC format or memory stick as a power-point presentation. For practical reasons we would like you not to bring your personal laptop.

Conference Desk

The conference desk in “Le Cinéma” will be opened from 7:30-11:30 am each morning and from 3:30 pm during the afternoon sessions. Go there for late registration, dinner bookings and any other problems.

The telephone number of this desk is +41 76 344 50 60.  

Bus Transportation

Free bus transportation is available throughout the resort to reach “Le Cinéma” (the bus stops at Place de l’Ermitage). For those staying at the Hotel Montpelier, a courtesy minibus will take you to the main square (Place de L’Ermitage) in the mornings only.

 

Alpine Supper

The official dinner will take place in the Restaurant “Le Vieux Verbier”, on Tuesday 26 January  at 9:00pm. Drinks will be served under the tent at  “Le Cinéma” at 8:15pm. Informal dress is suitable (leave your tie at home!).

Dinner with wine is at a subsidized price of 90 Euros. Please buy your dinner voucher at the conference desk by Monday evening at the latest for those who did not register online. Places are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis!

Skiing and Other Sports

 

Efficient ski-lift facilities provide access to 250 miles of slopes, a figure that already gives an idea of this vast area of virtually limitless skiing, to say nothing of an alpine panorama that will take your breath away (especially from the top of the Mont-Fort or Mont-Gelé).

At an altitude between 5000 and 10000 feet, snow conditions are exceptionally favourable. The skiing resort is easy to reach from “Le Cinéma”, therefore you are strongly advised to take your kit with you when joining the morning scientific sessions.

Your hotel and the conference desk will give you details of where to obtain passes for skiers and non skiers.

Skiers are certainly experts in knowing how to get properly dressed in winter mountain conditions. For others, warm clothes and non-slip snow boots are strongly recommended.

In addition to skiing and other snow sports, there are different activities offered in Verbier: paragliding over the region, take a break at the swimming pool in the Sports Centre, shoot down the toboggan slopes, hike along sunny paths or compete at a curling match.

Discounts on Ski Hire and Lift Passes

Discounts are available via the conference desk or in advance through M&S Event Services SA. This year a 25% discount is available on all 2 day passes, for 26 and 27 January!

For ski-passes with a duration of 3 days and longer, a discount of 7% is available. Please book the ski-passes well ahead through the M&S Event Services SA office in Verbier.
