The SwissMAP Research Station does not provide funding for travel expenses. The organizers of the conference you want to attend might have separate funding for travel expenses though, and we invite you to contact them.
Most of the conferences take place in Salle Glacier in the Hotel Les Sources at the second floor (unless it has been specified differently by the organizers of your conference).
You can check in from 2pm and need to check out before 10am.
The hotel reception will be open until 8pm, after which the hotel manager will leave your key with a member of staff (in charge of the bar) until 11pm. After 11pm your key will be left on the desk at reception.
Please inform us if you arrive after 8.30pm so that we can give the correct information for Sunday dinner.
Dinner can be served until 8.30 pm. If you intend to arrive later, please inform us by Thursday prior the event.
