Swiss National Day is a public holiday in Switzerland and one of the busiest days on the campsite. The campsite staff organise many activities throughout the day and everyone on site must join in.

The first activity is the one that most people are not too fond of. This was especially true for members of the RVU who had a late night in the pub the day before. At 6am everyone on the campsite is woken up by the staff. Every other year we have been to Switzerland the staff have been round banging pots and pans and generally making an almighty din.

However, expert revelers should be able to sleep through this. Some members of the RVU were so confident that they foolishly challenged an American member of KISC staff saying that they would easily sleep through it.
