Corporate retreats & incentives
A few days in the mountains does what a meeting room in town cannot: it takes a team out of its routine and gives it time together. We organise the whole retreat, from the meeting room to the last run.
The format decides everything else: the length of the stay, the type of accommodation, how much skiing goes into the programme and the budget. It is the first thing we ask.
Not every mountain hotel has a proper meeting room, and the ones that do are not equipped in the same way. Before we book anything, we check the real capacity in a working layout, daylight, the internet connection, the projection equipment, and whether coffee breaks can be served in the room. In many resorts this is what limits the choice, so we start there.
There is no single best resort. The right one depends on where your team is travelling from, the headcount, the budget, the skiing level and, above all, what the hotels can offer on your dates — starting with a proper meeting room. We work across the French Alps: Les 3 Vallées (Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens), Paradiski (Les Arcs, La Plagne), Chamonix, the Aravis villages, the Maurienne valley, as well as Tignes, Alpe d'Huez, Serre Chevalier and Orcières Merlette.
A big-name resort is not always the best fit for a retreat. A smaller, quieter resort often has more availability to keep the whole team under one roof, at a more reasonable budget. We suggest the options that match your brief, not a resort we have to sell. Our guide to choosing a French Alps ski resort for a group explains the criteria.
Tell us your headcount, your dates and the purpose of the retreat. We usually reply within 24 hours.
The moments people remember are the ones the whole team shares, skiers and non-skiers alike. Snowshoeing with a mountain guide, a laser biathlon in teams, an igloo-building session, a dinner in a mountain restaurant reached by snowcat: one or two shared activities and one memorable evening are enough for a retreat of two or three days.
Teams travelling from London, Brussels, Amsterdam or Zurich usually fly into Geneva or Lyon, then continue by private coach. We time the transfers to your flights, so the team travels together from the airport to the hotel door. Within France, the train to the valley followed by a coach transfer works well.
We price each item separately in the proposal, so you can decide where to spend and where to save.
