Introduction
Located right on the France and Switzerland border and only a short journey from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. Our one visit here was fantastic – would have been 2 but due to Covid and a different application of restrictions by France and Switzerland it decided the competion should be moved to Winterthur in 2022. Top tier competion. great venue, plenty of hotels nearby and some wonderful places to eat.

Venue
Pfaffenholz Sports Center
A modern sports facility that quite literally is half in Switzerland and half in France. Inside, it’s quite imposing – almost like a gladitorial arena with it being sunken in to a very imposing concrete structure, with banked concrete seats one side and a viewing balacony all around. There was a smaller side hall, but I didn’t get any pictures of that.

Hotels
I stayed in the Hôtel ibis Aéroport Bâle Mulhouse which was a walkable distance to the venue. No complaints there – note that it tends to be slighly cheaper staying on the French side of Basel.
Shops & Places To Eat
We had an excellent meal at Restaurant Tilleul and a few drinks and snacks at Week-End Brasserie. We also gave La Diligence a go, but they literally ignored us for about 15 minutes, so we left.
