A breath of fresh air

Work events don’t always need to happen indoors – there is a new appreciation of the power of fresh air to promote new ideas, good conversations and an enriching atmosphere. Welcome to the world of outdoor teambuilding.

How about some Olympic-style activities to bond your team? Brains, stamina and team spirit are all required in the battle to win the points. Up to 300 people can take part in a Team Olympiad, divided into teams of 8 to compete against the others. Just like the real Olympics, the Team Olympiad offers various disciplines - from archery to climbing, and from a Segway course to inflatable boat races. It's guaranteed to be an experience.

The OutdoorCenter HIGH 5 is quite spectacular: the site covers 8000 m2 and is located directly on the river in the heart of the Bregenzerwald. You can put together a programme of four different modules for your company or team event. Activities range from a 10-metre climbing tower and archery to geocaching, canyoning or adventure hiking. Naturally, you’re not left to your own devices; the HIGH 5 team support you throughout. There’s even a celebratory award ceremony at the end with a slide show on the TV, with proceedings rounded off with an idyllic campfire, barbecue and drinks.

AktivZentrum Bregenzerwald offers an extensive range of teambuilding events. How about a GPS treasure hunt, where missions are embedded in an exciting story adapted to team training? Or an adventure hike to get pulses racing, or dare teams to build their own raft? Various team challenges can be booked – some even involving sumo fights or archery.
