Trailers
from the UK to the 2008 Worlds...
MPSCA will be organising trailers to take
your boats to Garda (cost £370 inc. VAT;
based on 7 boats filling the trailers).
The MPSCA & builder have been working with
Alex & his team for many years and those
of you who attended the Garda Worlds would
have benefitted from the work Alex & his
team did supporting the shore side of
things doing a great job with the trollies.
Pick-up points for boats are not confirmed
yet (it depends who books) so please help
the process by letting Alex know ASAP that
you wish to have your boat taken out to
Silvaplana.
To book a space email Alex Storrar at
alexstorrar@yahoo.co.uk or call 07718
533824 for more information.

Travelling by car:
Roads are all in good condition and well
suitable even for large trailers.
Note: On highways (Autobahn) in
Switzerland you will require a
Vignette for both the car and the
trailer (CHF 40.- each).
Coming from France or Germany you follow
the highway to Chur - San Bernardino. You
leave this route at Thusis where
you turn left, direction Tiefencastel.
There you follow the road to Julier
Pass which leads you directly to
Silvaplana.
If you prefer passing through a tunnel you
leave the Zurich - Chur highway at
Landquart. Follow the road to
Klosters - Veraina and get on the
railway. It will pass the Vereina
tunnel, while you are sitting in your car.
After the 15 minutes ride you drive up the
Engadine Valley to Silvaplana.
