DetailsIf your team is short of ideas for activities or a Christmas party, look no further than Livia Begle’s workshops. Cooking together allows everyone to think outside the box, try new dishes and get to know their colleagues better.
DetailsRecreation from exciting workshops is best achieved in the great outdoors – simple and good are the two words that characterise this accompanying programme.

Ideas are given free reign, and participants get their hands dirty while crafting their own unique pottery creations. All in all, a wonderful atmosphere for the group to exchange ideas and get to know each other’s creative side.

All detailsFantastic opportunities to escape the hustle and bustle of the city exist in and around Dornbirn. For example, the guided tours through the Rappenloch and Alploch gorges.

All detailsThe newly constructed cooperative cheese cellar in Lingenau is home to 32,000 cheeses. A visit to the cheese – which matures for between four and 18 months – constitutes an impressive walk through the storeroom at 10.5°C.

One of the playful team-building exercises is the perfect way to wind down following the intensive exchange of insights.

The cultural pastimes in the region are on the lively side and of a high quality. The Bregenz Festival – held on the world’s largest lake stage – functions as a culture magnet. The Schubertiade, the Bregenzer Frühling dance festival, the Kunsthaus Bregenz and, it goes without saying, Vorarlberg architecture, are also very popular amongst visitors.
Making a decision is hard – the best thing to do is to take advantage of the advice offered by the team at the Convention Partner Vorarlberg, in order to draw up the perfect package for you.
