Corporate Dinner + Adventure: An Original Format

The corporate Christmas dinner at the usual city restaurant, with the usual menu, the usual background music and the usual speeches? This year, do something different. Bring your team to the Dolomites for an experience that combines adventure in the morning and an exclusive dinner in the evening — an original format your colleagues will remember for years.

At Adrenaline Adventures, we organise corporate events in the Dolomites year-round, and the Christmas season is our favourite. Here's how to create the perfect company party near San Vigilio di Marebbe.

The Format: Morning Adventure, Evening Dinner

Morning: Zipline and Team Building

Forget the classic welcome drink. Start the day with something that truly wakes the team:

09:00 - 10:30: Arrival and welcome with mulled wine or hot chocolate 10:30 - 12:00: Group zipline — colleagues fly together over the Marebbe Valley. Shared adrenaline creates stronger bonds than any traditional team building exercise.

Why it works:

• Breaks the ice: even those who barely know each other will have conversation topics all evening
• Levels hierarchies: on the zipline, the CEO and the intern share the same thrill
• Creates memories: photos and videos become legendary office material
• Inclusive: the zipline is accessible even to those with no sporting experience

Afternoon: Free Time

After the adventure, give the team a few hours of freedom:

• Village stroll among Christmas decorations
• Shopping at the Christmas markets in Bruneck (20 min)
• Relaxation at the Cron4 spa
• Cultural visit to the Ladin Museum

Evening: Dinner at a Mountain Farm or Restaurant

Dinner at a mountain farm or typical restaurant is the grand finale. Wood stove, candles, warm timber and mountain views — an atmosphere impossible to replicate in the city.

Alternative: The Gift Voucher Ceremony

If a group zipline isn't feasible for everyone, here's a brilliant alternative: the Gift Voucher Ceremony. Give each employee a gift voucher for the zipline, opened together during dinner with a toast. Each employee then uses it whenever they prefer.
