Welcome home!
It’s time again! At our last reunion in Leysin in 2022, it was decided that we would try and meet every three years as opposed to four. Maybe something to do with age, but I choose to believe it’s because we all have such a special time together on our Magic Mountain, we don’t want to wait too long in-between!
For some of you it is a regular occurrence and for some of you it may be the first time you return to Leysin or attend one of our reunions on the mountain. All I can promise you is that you will have an unforgettable moment revisiting your old stomping ground, reminiscing with old friends and making new friends. We are all ACSers!
Planning is almost done: final information relating to the Welcome Cocktail at Prafandaz will be posted sometime in April (after I have been up to make arrangements) but in the meantime, we are posting the agenda, as well as links for lodging. I have arranged a limited number of rooms with the Hotel Central Residence with a private email for reservation (instructions are on the relevant page). Don’t wait: rooms are filling up fast! You will also see that there is no Gala this time, I want to keep it casual and in the village.
Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to spread the news and encourage at least one other alum to join us on our Magic Mountain! Let’s make this the best one yet!
See you in Leysin!
