Hi Joel,
We are looking forward to meeting you at HU Switzerland.
Regarding accommodation, I can recommend https://www.bauernhof-rotkreuz.ch/
Hotel accommodation in Switzerland is expensive... You can get a room there for 87 CHF, and you can have breakfast at the campsite. I believe it is a good deal for Switzerland, and it is only 5 minutes by motorbike.
If you have any further questions, let me know!
Have a safe trip and see you soon!
Heike & Filippo

Hi Joel,
You are right. There is no special discount. Sorry, I did not write correctly. It should say rooms FROM 87 CHF - i believe summer holiday season and high demand have pushed the prices up. Switzerland is expensive. You could check on Airbnb - or you might consider purchasing a sleeping bag (it is not cold, so a simple sleeping bag might be sufficient) and you can book sleeping in the hay in the barn or in a tipi tent on the campsite. I think for the tents they also offer camping beds.
Best,
Heike

Reason: GJ: Testing issue with images - seems smugmug is blocking images! Worth complaining, or possibly UNLOCKING your gallery!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
