Friday Morning Hike. @ Various

We walk at a brisk pace for about two hours on Friday mornings throughout the year in the Geneva countryside, the canton of Vaud and occasionally venture further out for longer walks up to three hours, using public transportation for all walks. We usually meet around 9:00 and are normally finished around lunchtime.

Swiss Federal and Cantonal regulations will always be followed.

1. Masks must be worn on public transportation.
2. If a member has traveled within 10 days before the hike to any country considered a risk under Swiss Federal and Cantonal regulations, they must quarantine and may not join the hike.
3. Walkers are requested to maintain a 1.5-metre distance between themselves and other walkers. To facilitate this, we suggest walking in pairs (two persons, side by side), only. If this distance can't be maintained, please wear a mask.
4. A list of the hikers participating on a hike along with contact details  will be kept for two weeks after the hike for contact and tracing purposes.
