Event: Course de L'Escalade
When: Dec 5th 2009

People staying at Hotel d'Angleterre in early December can explore the city of Geneva in style by taking part in an annual fun run whose course takes in the city's finest historical sites.

Taking place on December 5th, the Course de L'Escalade fun run through Geneva's Old Town is expected to attract thousands of enthusiastic runners.

This is the perfect opportunity for guests of the luxury Geneva hotel to explore Old Town, which is just ten minutes away by car.

People attending the event, which features courses that range from two kilometres to eight kilometres, will not only see participants of all ages, but competitors in elaborate costumes, which add to the fun run's atmosphere.

Aimed at commemorating the city's 1602 victory over duc Charles-Emmanuel de Savoie, the event will culminate in the smashing of chocolate cooking pots, which is a typical Genevoise tradition.

Guests participating in the event can treat themselves to the 3 Nights for the Price of 2 package at Hotel d'Angleterre, which will enable them to enjoy an extra bight's pampering free of charge.
