For current information regarding the gathering join https://matrix.to/#/#hitchhiking:chagai.website and/or mailing-list and/or Signal-group
Tonight 22/11/2023 many people talked on the hitchwiki matrix group chat and we came to a decision to do this new year's gathering in a nice cabin in Switzerland were already few winter gatherings happened in the last years.
Contents
Date
Probably between the 26th december and early january, it more depends on if people wanna come around the 23th december or more around the 28th december for example, and if people feel like staying few days after the 31th december or feel like stay a week or two more, can't say.
Probably people will give updates here and on the mailing list and on the matrix/signal group.
Location
Switzerland
Hotel d'Italie Cabin
https://www.refuges.info/point/1291/cabane-non-gardee/Hotel-d-Italie/
There are tons of cabins in this area, it's rather unique and very nice to walk around. They are maintained by the local commune so the they are stay in a good state. Locals sometimes go there to eat fondue or party, but rarely stay more than a night even on NYE where it might be packed. There is always at least some wood storage and it's very easy to pick up and dry some if not enough.
There might be a water tank of drinking water near the Cabin, if not the closest house is 3/4km away from the Cabin so nothing too crazy for a water mission.
- people were also debating on gathering in a smaller town nearby and come to the cabin together. if you’d prefer that and would feel safer to do so, reach out to people in the matrix/signal group or suggest time and place here***
more info soon
What to bring
The Cabin is more or less 1400m high, I checked the weather and it should be around -3/3°C by day and -10/0°C by night. We'll be in a nice Cabin with a stove so it should be pretty warm inside, but the first floor who is the sleeping area is colder than the ground floor.
Food : Food is expensive in Switzerland. There is a small shop in the next french Village (expensive, but cheaper that Switzerland). To the next cheaper supermarket it's about 20km + long walk to the road. So best is to bring as much as you can.
Personal stuff : your personal medication if needed Sleeping : mat, a good sleeping bag Cooking : knife, bowl/plate, fork, spoon Hygiene : you can figure it out, just there is no sink so no way to get rid of our grey water except by dumping it around
Collective stuff :
Cooking : big pots, chopping board, bucket or a small basin to dishwash, spices, oils, nuts, dry food, fruits/veggies, etc...
to cut wood : saw? machette? axe? billhook?
Random:
Candles, power bank, booze, water filter, games, instruments,
How to get there
It's a 5km walk on a small mountain road from the main road to the Cabin
location : https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=46.5728&mlon=6.1269#map=12/46.5728/6.1269
the nearests village on the french side is Bois-d'Amont and on the swiss side Le Brassus
It seems it's possible to dumpsterdive in Les Rousses ( french side )
When are you coming?
Just a proposition so people may have a better idea who is gonna be there or how many people are gonna be there, can be anonymous too
flavorpeach : i should arrive the 27th or 28th december and staying as long as I feel like it ( I'll bring a big pot for cooking )
anonymous: i might also arrive around the 27th, maybe earlier, and stay as long as i want
Mrmagicmax: If I'm coming, it will be on the 30th or even later.
tuls3235 : I could arrive in the beginning of January, if people choose to move the beginning here.
Yogisatori : I could also arrive in the beginning of January, maybe even something like 1st or 2nd January - would be good to know if some of you may still be there for some days beginning of January
Eugene: Maybe comming the 26/27/28th, depending how lucky my hitchhiking is. I hitchhike from Aalborg, DK, so I will probably need a sleeppover on the way in Germany.
