General information

• Summary: All the practical informations are gathered in this well-done document; below we develop the main points.


• Where is it ? The conference center is located in the small ski resort of Les Houches, in the French Alps, on the slopes of the Mont Blanc. It is 10 minutes away from Chamonix and one hour from Geneva.


• Conference center: The workshop takes place in a specialized conference center (with all facilities, see the website). The attendants will be accommodated in single rooms, within the conference center. All meals will be served in the onsite restaurant. The center requires us to respect strictly the hours of the restaurant - lunch at 12:30, and dinner at 19:30).


• Arrival and departure: The workshop starts on Monday March 25th. Participants may arrive as early as Sunday 24th afternoon at 3PM (don't come before, you would find the door closed). The workshop ends on Friday 29th after lunch. The school is completely closed on Friday evening.


• Registration Fees: Each participant will pay upon arrival at the conference center 425Euros of registration fees to cover all accommodation costs.


• Practical details on the venue. Rooms are located in chalets. Access to the chalets is controlled by a code, available (together with room assignments) inside Jacassiere, the school's main building. A map of the facilities is available here).


• Weather: The weather can be quite cold even at this period, although snowfalls are quite unlikely. In any case, all participants should bring warm clothes and appropriate mountain shoes. People who would like to go skiing should also bring appropriate attire.


• Ski: It is quite likely, although not certain, that nearby ski stations (Grands Montets, Brevent-Flegere, Les Houches) will be open.


• Access of the center: All the access information is precisely detailed at the bottom of this useful page. From Geneva airport, the simplest way is to use a shuttle service; from Les Houches SNCF train station, it is the taxi, but you should definitely book in advance (see more info on the document).
