Corporate trips in the great outdoors

There are very few regions that can boast such multifaceted and pristine nature in such a small area. Vorarlberg is home to true natural beauty, all within an hour's drive: mountain peaks as far as the eye can see; alpine huts perched on lush green hills; babbling brooks winding through imposing gorges, enchanted forests and rolling meadows; glistening mountain lakes or turquoise dewdrops on alpine ridges. And as if all that wasn’t enough, there’s the stunning Lake Constance, a paradise not only for water sports enthusiasts but also for unique water birds and plants.

Clearly, if you’re looking for an ideal natural setting for company trips, seminars and meetings, Vorarlberg has you covered.

Can you imagine anywhere better to combine a corporate trip with immersion in nature? There are various options for your group to be guided through the landscape by experts, whether on a guided herbal tour or a sunrise hike. To consciously start a productive day, arriving together on the yoga mat can be a great option. Even a short yoga session is enough to help participants settle in and find their center.

Relaxation is the key to concentration, which is why the Forest School Bodensee makes the forest part of the supporting program. During guided forest bathing, participants immerse themselves completely in nature's tranquility, and a barefoot tour offers a chance to (re)discover one’s sensory perceptions. These can also be put to the test while summer tobogganing: the region offers several tracks with spectacular jumps, curves, and spirals—thrill included!

We’ll stay in the forest a little longer—for a shared experience in one of the high ropes courses. Balancing between treetops and over rocky gorges demands focus and strengthens team spirit. Those seeking the ultimate adrenaline rush at height shouldn’t miss the Flying Fox—at 130 km/h, it’s a fast-paced descent into the depths. Speaking of depths: the group will also experience profound moments during guided tours through the Rappenloch and Alploch gorges, where one natural spectacle follows another.

You could even combine this physical action with a culinary walk in Kleinwalsertal or a a ride on the Karren cable car to the Panorama Restaurant. From there you can take the journey down by foot, or back in the cable car for those who want to take it easy.

If you fancy some furry accompaniment, there are in fact various options for llama trekking in the region. Here you can walk with friendly llamas and alpacas through the mountain landscapes - a relaxing way of getting to know each other and the animals better. Alternatively, birdwatching in the Rhine delta immerses you in a different world with around 330 bird species, with something for everyone to discover.

Engaging in conversation while staying active – this works wonderfully on a hike to the Skyspace Lech. The guided tours are timed with sunrise and sunset, as that’s when the light installation reveals its unique play of colors. It’s sure to spark conversation on the way back. By the way, a round of golf on one of Vorarlberg’s seven golf courses is also a great way to get talking while walking. Whether 18-hole, 9-hole, or on the highest golf course in Austria, the backdrops here are idyllic. For groups looking to roam far and wide, e-bike tours are a wonderful way of exploring the valleys and mountains. According to fitness and preference, tours of anything from 2 to 6 hours are possible.

One activity belongs in any summer activity programme: stand-up paddeling. No matter if it’s your first time or your hundredth, the group tours, courses and contests are fun for everyone. And, to finish, a barbecue evening together!
