What is included in a business retreat in the mountains?

A corporate retreat in the mountains is based on the combination of peace of mind, inspiration and experience. The accommodation acts as the hub - a private lodge or large mountain cabin where the group both lives and works together. There are comfortable bedrooms, generous living areas, a dining room that doubles as a meeting room, stable wifi, a screen and whiteboard if needed. The most sought-after houses also offer saunas, outdoor jacuzzis and fireplaces, and locations that provide silence and views - perfect for reflection between sessions.

Meals and services that create rhythm

Meals are a key part of the experience. You can choose full board with breakfast, coffee and dinner planned in advance, or book a private chef who cook the evening's menu in-house. Local ingredients, communal dinners and a well-organised service free up energy for conversation, relationships and creative work.

Programmes and activities

A mountain retreat methodically alternates between focus and movement. Mornings are often devoted to strategy, prioritisation and workshops, while afternoons include breaks in nature - from leisurely mountain walks and cross-country runs to snowmobile safari or dog sledding. In summer, guided hiking, cycling or yoga are suitable. The aim is to give the brain rhythm: concentration in short blocks and oxygenation between decision-making phases.

Recovery and community

Recovery is part of the delivery. A moment in the sauna, a swim under the stars or time in front of the fire allows the discussions to continue in a more relaxed way and the group to stay focussed over several days. Evenings are suitable for activities such as wine or beer tasting, quizzes, cookery demonstrations or an inspirational lecture.

Logistics and planning

Transport, electric car charging, equipment and guides are usually included in the package. A successful programme starts with the purpose: management retreat, team building or kickoff. Based on this, accommodation, menu, meeting format and activities are customised. Popular periods during winter and autumn fill up quickly, so book well in advance.

Summary - holistic experience for businesses

A mountain retreat usually includes exclusive accommodation, meals with or without private chef, spa and relaxation, guided tours mountain activities and seamless logistics. Combine scheduled meetings from the conference programme with relaxing team building activities to strengthen relationships and create lasting energy.
