Hi Ana, Thanks for this (more) informed mail. Unfortunately, it has some imprecisions that (unwillingly, I'm sure), spread FUD.

As you mention further down, this building has 25 sleeping places. I invite people to go to the link you provided and investigate the other buildings.

You can see from http://www.groups.ch/images/haeuser/zusatz/K-0806-5487-6_20091202024753.jpg?mt=1259761673 that the vertical wooden "beams" act as ladders. IMHO non-disabled people of reasonable physical condition can enter the upper beds without problems. > - There is not place for personal belongings, are they supposed to be left > in the veranda? Good point, to be investigated. I guess usual guests in these houses use their bags for this purpose. > To my understanding, the accommodation on the remaining buildings is in a > similar state. No. As mentionned above and as one can see from the interactive visit pictures and plans (and as the BSP participants can testify as they were hosted in the "Passerelle" building), Building 4 and 5 could be qualified as the "worst" ones. > With some different arrangement for the beds disposed for > people in wheelchair.

As you can see from http://www.lecamp.ch/offresHotes.php?lang= some of their hosts propose week-long camps for mentally disabled people (just to say that people are having events there with more disabled people than we usually have). All the main (non-hosting) buildings provide wheelchair-accessible facilities. Passerelle has 15 wheelchair accessible beds, including showers and toilets. As for other type of disabilities, we don't have information as far as I know, but we could ask. > If to all the above if you add details like the nearest supermarket being > 3.7km away or that the nearest hotel is mostly unaffordable (320CHF the > night for a double room) That's a silly example as that's a castle, with a single double room. As for other hotels, the list we begun to build is there: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/AlternativeAccomodation It was pointed out recently that this lists lacks the hotels of Yverdon-les- Bains and Neuchâtel that are ~ 40 minutes of bus away from LeCamp.
