While we are based in Zurich our members are situated throughout the country and we regularly organise events to different cycling hotspots. If t …

I find that the week goes by so quickly and then when the weekend comes around sometimes I have time on my hands. So the idea is to do group activities at the weekend which aren't covered by the other groups and generally away from Zurich. I'm thinking carnival in Bellinzona, city trips, etc. If it sounds interesting then join and ideally bring some further ideas.

(Deutscher Text siehe unten) If you have always dreamt of sailing on a big yacht or if you want to learn to sail or if you already have your sailing experience, but never found the better and warmer weather conditions you would prefer: This is the opportunity to fulfil your desire. Try it, at least once in your life. Many believe that sailing is elitist and requires much theoretical and practical preparation. However, the difficulty about sailing lies rather with finding the right boat, the peop …

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances. According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

Welcome to the Meetup Hike & Outdoor Group!!! As seen on this picture, Switzerland is a hiking paradise, as its trails almost covers the whole country...but there is more to see: majestic mountains, beautiful lakes and evergreen fields, just to mention few things. Since 2007 we have been organizing many, many hikes and other outdoor activities throughout the year. In Summer we do mostly hiking, but also Rafting, Canyoning, Biking, Inline Skating and Climbing (Vía Ferrata). In Winter, we concentr …

''This is a group for all Parents with kids in and around Basel'' This group was started because you normally only hear about events in Basel after they have happened. The idea of the group is if you hear of an event which you think Parents and kids would enjoy and can go to, theatre, children’s flea markets, rugby, football, parades etc then just post it on here. You don’t have to be going, but if you want to meet up with other people for a coffee or just to say hello you can say you are going. …

The Focus initially will be on downhill skiing (snowboarders welcome), I ski mostly on piste but would like to get more off piste ex …

Do you watch too much daytime TV or find yourself looking for things to do during working hours?!? Maybe you would be interested in this new group! Set up by two ex-pats (from London and NY) who relocated to Zürich recently due to our partner’s jobs, we found ourselves at a bit of a loose end in the day while we try and find our feet in Zürich . Used to leading hectic lives and having enjoyable careers, relocating to Zürich has been a roller coaster full of many highs and undeniably some lows. U …
