Corporate ski trips for non-skiers

Most corporate ski trips include some non-skiers – they need things to do. Fortunately, there are corporate ski trip resorts which offer non-skiers, as great an experience as those sliding across the snow.

Corporate ski trips need to be inclusive events – where non-skiers are engaged in activities that thrill, and offer them a window into the local culture and scenery.

Many quality hotels in the Alps now offer spa complexes, but this should only be a fall-back option. Event programmes for non-skiers should be as fulfilling as those sliding across the snow.

Non-skier event activities can include snow sports such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skidoo driving, winter walks, fat biking, ice skating, curling and much more.

Quality resorts offer air sports such as tandem paragliding, zip wires, scenic flights, hot air ballooning and even tandem sky diving. Lunches should include the skiers and non-skiers, sitting around the table.
