Swiss Ski Club of New York - Rates and Procedures

Rates and Procedures

To stay at the Swiss Ski Club please go to Book a Stay

The Swiss Ski Club is an entirely volunteer organization.
All Members and Guests at the lodge share in duties to maintain the facility during their stay and leave it how they found it …… or better
Members and guests often work together and organize meals from our well stocked cooking facility (food not included).
These are the roots that bind this organization outside our love for skiing and nature.
Become a member!!!

If you have never stayed with us, we recommend you join a bus trip. It is the perfect way to see our facility, meet members and learn the Swiss Ski Club ways. We also host many social events around New York City so please refer to our Calendar

Members are welcome to the lodge at anytime

Non-Members (Friends) are welcomed at the Lodge whenever a Member is present
All reservations are prepaid
If you are on a Car-pool Weekend a Reservationist will help arrange rides
