  Oktoberfest in Munich

  Sep 18-27, 2020

  Enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the real Oktoberfest in Munich with friends from the Swiss Ski Club! 
  
  Details are still in the works, but here's what you can expect: 
  Fly from Newark or JFK airport on Friday, September 18th to arrive in Munich Saturday, September 19th. Upon arrival we will check into our hotel, Mercure Hotel Muenchen City Center. Each morning, we'll enjoy a traditional German breakfast at the hotel before walking (yes, the hotel is walking distance!) to the tents for Oktoberfest drinking and dining or taking off for a day of adventure! 
  
  The plan is to spend 2/3 days in the tents drinking, partying and taking in Oktoberfest. On Sunday we will watch the worlds largest traditional Bavarian folklore parade with over 8,000 participants before visiting Oktoberfest.
  There will also be plenty of time to check out Munich, a global center of art, culture, science and technology. We will tour King Ludwig’s world famous castle Neuschwanstein and visit Zugspitze, the highest German peak in the Alps! 
  
  Bring your friends and family - note: Oktoberfest is a family event in Germany, but for the pace of the trip, please only bring your children if they are grown!
  
  A down payment of $500 is due by February 29, 2020. 
  Please sign up online to reserve your spot at https://www.swissskiclub.org/event-3642862
