This time there was no printed programm.
All the important information came via SMS.
The secret messages took us to the "Goas-Stall"...
...where we were welcomed by "Santa Skander".
 
 
 
xmas event
december 6 - 10, 2006
saalbach hinterglemm, austria
The rest of the Swatch Team came
in "James Bond" Style.
 
 
 
 
 
First thing Thursday morning: everybody
got the "Swatch the Club Race Team" jacket.
We didn't know at that time that there would be
a race, because the official race got cancelled due
to the missing snow.
Swatch the Club and Ixxalp not only prepared
a racing track, but also built an igloo...
 
 
 
...with a "VIP Lounge" inside.
Start your engine...
...for the race.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The drivers were cheered on by the Club members...
...but in the end there could be only one winner,
who received a place in the Swatch the Club
Snow Mobile Team 2007.
Skander and Peter came with a Hummer
to present us the Xmas Special "Arctic Touch".
 
 
 
We were only allowed a short look at the special...
...because two bad guys came on a quad bike and
stole the hummer with all our specials.
Skander and Peter couldn't stop the car.
 
 
 
Swatch the Club organised two helicopters...
...to bring us to a safe location.
 
 
 
 
There we ate meat and cheese fondue.
For entertainment we had Alphornbläser...
...the members were invited to join in the fun...
 
 
 
...and some of them had to perform in funny outfits.
We liked that :)
After dinner we walked back to the hotel
carrying torches.
 
 
 
On Friday we went to the ÖAMTC trainings area.
In groups we were trained to become secret agents.
We learned how to shoot...
 
 
 
 
 
...turn off bombs...
 
 
 
 
...Flying Fox...
 
 
 
 
 
 
...use the bow and arrow...
 
 
 
...a good secret agent has 8 hits with only 5 arrows ;)
After lunch the winners of a SMS Game
received a very special prize...
...to be the co-pilot of Rally driver
Manfred Pfeiffenberger.
 
 
 
Some coud hardly believe their good luck...
...but nobody wanted to miss this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The happy winners.
 
 
 
The training continued...
...with this strange car.
After that we had a Range Rover Offroad Training.
 
 
 
 
 
Next task: Blind driving.
 
 
 
 
Last Stop: driving through "heavy rain".
 
 
 
 
 
After dinner we enjoyed the Christina Stürmer
concert in the VIP lounge.
 
 
 
 
 
Rallydriver Manfred Pfeiffenberger was there as well.
On Saturday morning we visited an Advent market
near Salzburg.
 
 
 
 
Horse-drawn carriages took us to Salzburg.
 
 
 
 
In the carriages we got Swatch gingerbread.
 
In Salzburg we went to the Swatch Store, of course.
 
 
 
At the christmas dinner...
...we finally caught the two bad guys...
 
 
 
 
...and Antonio...
...and Skander...
...could finally give us the Xmas Specials.
 
 
 
 
A big THANK YOU to Swatch the Club
and the Ixxalp team for this unforgettable event.
The complete Event Package.
