Spiffing Ales 1-Day Orienteering Race
An orienteering course set from Switzerland's Spiffing Ales brewery. Travel on foot, or on mountain bike, and finish with the freshest beer in the Zurich region! It's a rogaine course, so earn points by visiting as many checkpoints as you can in 5 hours.
Date: Sat November 21st, 2009
Difficulty: Novice to Expert
Duration: 11 AM - 5 PM (with post event festivities continuing until ?)
Comments: You have 5 hours to visit as many checkpoints as possible; we provide good maps, list of the checkpoints (and their point values), and plenty of delicious beer at the finish line. Some run, some walk, and we've just added a bike category . . . but everyone enjoys the beautiful forested ridge overlooking the Zurichsee and with views to the Alps.
Here are directions to the Brewery
. The price is 35 CHF/person and -- besides a great orienteering experience -- includes the party at the Brewery including pizza and excellent beer!

Spring 2010
Untamed Switzerland 3-Day Alpine Stage Race
Each day is a fresh challenge of orienteering, trekking, and snowshoeing that showcases some of the best mountain terrain through the heart of the Alps; each evening is relaxed in the host mountain village. Snow shoes, strong compass skills, and endurance are a MUST for Untamed Switzerland.
Date: April 9-11 2010
Difficulty: Intermediate to Expert
Duration: 3 stages over 3 days
Comments: Compete solo or in a team of 2, 3, or 4 people. Regardless, you must be self-sufficient in the Swiss Alps and very comfortable with map and compass! We explore new terrain each day, so variety and Swiss cultural discovery are two hallmarks of this adventure.
