Bavarian curling is a seriously social group activity in which participants briefly exchange their Glühwein for an ‘ice stock’, sliding it down the rink to position themselves as close as possible to a target.
The activity is a popular corporate ski group activity because it is inclusive and often accompanied by mulled wine. Guides and prizes can be organised as part of the activity.
Bavarian curling is a variation on Olympic Curling (where every four years the UK holds its collective breath in the hope of medals), with a vertical handle attached to the weighted base. The handle allows the participant to release the ice stock with less athletic dexterity than is required for the Olympic stones and, on many levels, represents a more social sport. Games are often delayed as team members gingerly cross the ice with steaming trays of mulled wine.
The outdoor settings for these Bavarian curling games are often atmospheric, and the sport is popular with the locals. Curling can be organised to fit into an evening corporate ski event program, ideally before dinner, so clients have some fun outdoors and work up an appetite prior to dinner.
