The meeting room with the projector, the stale biscuits and the machine coffee. We have all been there. And we all know that the best results do not come from those rooms. They come when people step out of their routine, share powerful experiences, and see each other in a different light. That is why we created a format that combines corporate workshops with adventure in the Dolomites β and the results speak for themselves.
The concept is simple: a morning of focused work in an inspiring mountain setting, an afternoon of adrenaline on the zipline. The outcome? More cohesive teams, fresher ideas, and colleagues who will remember this day for years.
The Format: Half-Day Workshop, Half-Day Adventure
The Morning β Workshop in the Mountains
Forget anonymous conference rooms. Your workshop takes place in one of the most stunning settings in the Dolomites:
- Mountain huts with meeting rooms: facilities equipped with WiFi, projector and whiteboard, at 1,500-2,000 metres altitude. Dolomite views from the window instead of the company car park.
- Private chalets: intimate spaces for groups of up to 20, with fireplace, panoramic terrace and traditional South Tyrolean catering.
- Equipped outdoor areas: for open-air brainstorming sessions when the weather allows, with tables, covers and power supply.
The morning programme is fully customisable: strategic workshop, brainstorming session, training, new product launch, project kick-off. You bring the content, we provide the context that makes it memorable.
The most effective format is 3 hours of workshop in the morning (9:00-12:00), a traditional lunch at a mountain hut (12:00-13:30) and zipline in the afternoon (14:00-16:00). This rhythm alternates focus and relaxation, maximising both productivity and team bonding.
Lunch β South Tyrolean Cuisine
Lunch is not a detail: it is part of the experience. Canederli, speck, polenta with venison ragu, apple strudel β all prepared with local ingredients in a mountain hut with Dolomite views. This is when colleagues relax, talk about life, and build genuine relationships.
The Afternoon β Zipline Over the Dolomites
After lunch, it is time for the zipline. Seven routes, 3 km of flight, up to 100 metres above the ground at 80 km/h. For many, it will be their first time. And this is where the magic happens: the manager afraid of heights gets encouraged by the team, the quiet accountant screams with joy on the first route, the new hire bonds with colleagues in ways that would have taken months in the office.
Shared adrenaline creates deep connections. This is not forced team building with role-playing games β it is a real experience that reveals who we are when we step outside our comfort zone.
Why It Works: The Science of Adrenaline and Creativity
This is not just intuition β neuroscience confirms that combining intellectual work with intense physical activity produces superior results:
- Dopamine and noradrenaline: intense physical activity releases neurotransmitters that improve focus, motivation and problem-solving ability. Ideas generated after the zipline experience are more creative and bold.
- Breaking hierarchical patterns: on the zipline, there is no org chart. The CEO and the intern fly at the same speed. This momentary equality reshapes group dynamics in lasting ways.
- Emotional memory: high-intensity emotional experiences are stored in long-term memory. Your workshop will not be forgotten by the following Monday β it will be remembered for years.
- Cortisol reduction: the mountain environment reduces stress levels. A workshop in the mountains starts from a calmer emotional baseline than one in the city.
A study by the University of Innsbruck (2023) demonstrated that teams sharing high-intensity outdoor experiences showed a 34% increase in collaboration and a 28% improvement in internal communication over the 8 weeks following the event.
Location and Logistics
Where It Takes Place
The workshop takes place in the San Vigilio di Marebbe area, in the heart of the Dolomites. Available venues include:
- Hotels & Spas with meeting rooms: 4-star properties with equipped conference rooms, perfect if the team is staying overnight
- Fanes Refuge: at 2,060 m, reachable by cable car and short walk, indoor space for 30 people
- Private chalets: various options from 10 to 40 people, with kitchen and facilities
- Our base: for smaller groups, we offer a meeting space directly at our facility
Getting There
San Vigilio is 45 minutes from Bressanone (A22 Brenner motorway exit), easily reachable from all of Northern Italy, Austria and Germany. For full details, see our guide on how to get here. We can organise group transfers from Bressanone or Brunico.
Best Time of Year
The ideal season runs from June to September, with July and August as the most popular months. September offers an excellent compromise: fewer crowds, autumn colours, and perfect temperatures for outdoor activities. For large groups, we recommend booking at least 6 weeks in advance.

Tech Startup β Milan, June 2025
A team of 22 chose the "Workshop & Fly" package for their second-half kick-off. In the morning, they worked on the product roadmap in a chalet with views of the Odle peaks. In the afternoon, on the zipline, they discovered sides of their colleagues they had never seen in the office.
"In 4 years of running a startup, we had never generated so many ideas in a single day. The environment matters. The adrenaline matters. We will be back." β CTO
Pharmaceutical Company β Munich, September 2025
