Reply to @Herbthebird: The AN-2 is NOT the largest biplane ever produced. Look at the HP42 for just one counter-example, or the Vickers Vimy for another. I agree, though, that Grenchen is a very nice airfield; only a bit on the expensive side, like everything in Switzerland.
Grenchen Airport is perfect for learning to fly, has hard surface and grass runway 07 / 25.
There are many nice special events, like the helicopter-weekend, and the modelaircraft show, besides parajumping and glider activities.
Or, take a scenic ride in a vintage Antonov AN-2, the largest biplane ever produced (which is stationed there) to the beautiful swiss alps and back, always a wonderful experience. Space for up to 12 passengers, flown by two pilots. See: http://www.avschweiz.ch/
The airport also has a Best Western Hotel & restaurant.
