Switzerland, Fondue, Saturday 28 February 2026

Report

The meeting was attended by 10 French members, including President Christophe, and 22 Swiss members, including Assistant Secretary Pascale. The number of participants was proof that it wasn't just the number of passes we were going to climb that counted. There was also the desire to spend some time with friends over a good meal, in a convivial and good-humoured atmosphere.

A few details:

There's been a change in the Swiss Catalogue Working Group (WG). Bernard Besson is stepping down after many years of collaboration, and I'd like to thank him for all his hard work. He has been replaced by André Rudaz, so there are still three of us on the CH WG, Christian and myself.

An addendum came out at the beginning of January and the next one is due out at the end of March or beginning of April, which will be the last until the autumn. You'll find lots of new passes in the cantons of Ticino and Glarus.
