    EURO 2008: Fanzone

    Switzerland and Austria hosted the UEFA European Football Championships in June 2008.

    Zurich was among the four Swiss cities where matches took place.

    The national teams of Italy, France and Romania played in the famous Letzigrund stadium (capacity 30.000).

    At that time a large UEFA Fan Zone with a big screen and a capacity of 45.000 could be found at the Bellevue Square.

    Before the championships a countdown clock to the EURO 2008 was located in Zuirch's main train station and during the event giant statues of players were installed here.

    Hardturm football stadium

    The Hardturm stadion is home to the Grasshoppers club. It's an older stadium that is supposed to be replaced eventually. The original plan was that the new stadium should be finished for the Euro 2008 but there were so many objections by various parties with different interests, so it remains to be seen when there actually will be a new one.

    Many years ago I watched here my first and last football match as a young adult.

    Update:
    The old Hardturm has closed for good in autumn 2007. The grasshoppers are now guests in the new Letzigrund until they have a new home. It's not yet known, when this will be the case. There are voices that think that Zurich should only have one soccer club with the new Hardturm as their home and the Letzigrund should only be for other purposes.

    Davos often seems to be the hospitable and charming meeting point of the world, bustling with life and activity. In winter there are five ski areas, all ofering a wide variety of easily accessible slopes, two sled runs, 75km of well prepared cross-country ski runs and many cleared walking trails.
