Zürich Decompression 2026

Who runs the Hotel

Twenty-seven crews build, run and take down the Grand Hotel. Every one of them is volunteers, and every one of them bought a ticket like you did.

If something needs solving during the weekend, this is who to look for. If you want to help a crew, find its lead and say so. Nobody will turn you away.

In July, eleven of these crews had nobody. Whoever carries a crew, decides how it runs. That is how this works.
