Takeaway

Event planners cannot overlook the power of an Alpine backdrop to transform an event into an unforgettable, high-impact experience that inspires and energises the entire team.

Shock and Awe

There’s something undeniably powerful about standing among dramatic mountain peaks. Beyond their beauty, mountains can profoundly affect mood, mindset, and even corporate performance. Experiencing awe-inspiring scenery reduces stress, elevates energy, and sparks creativity - perfect for brainstorming, strategy sessions, or product launches.

Take Meetings to New Heights

For meetings or corporate events, mountains do more than inspire. The fresh air, natural light, and expansive vistas enhance engagement and focus, while shared experiences, such as a short hike or outdoor breakouts, strengthen team connections. The setting also turns any event into a memorable experience, reinforcing messaging and leaving a lasting impression on participants.

The Incomprehensible Dolomites

Jacked up by tectonic collisions and beaten down by weather, mountains don’t follow forms. Explaining the Dolomites could take a lifetime. The rock formations are bewildering, unlike anything else in our alpine world. Their daily light shows, as the sun migrates, are dizzying. Plonk a product in front of these unique formations and the scene is set for something special. Cortina d'Ampezzo is bursting with ritz and Italian swagger and is circled by a wall of the Dolomites. Val Gardena offers the chance for skiers and snowboarders to navigate the Sella Ronda, a central plug of Dolomite rock that is truly captivating.

A view up to the Aiguille du Midi peak above Chamonix

Mont Blanc and the Pixar-like Aiguille du Midi

The roof of the Alps is found in Chamonix, with Mont Blanc towering over this iconic Alpine town. The size is impressive and draws attention, but it is the features beneath the highest peak in the Alps that are probably more deserving of the gasps. The glacial ice flows that enter the Chamonix Valley are stunning – vast volumes of ice that hang high above the valley. In this zone, the Aiguille du Midi is a mountain cable car station with remarkable viewing platforms and the nerve-racking Step into the Void, a glass-bottomed platform. This stunning scenery can also be accessed from the Italian side via Courmayeur, a fantastic ski resort beneath the towering peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif.

The World’s Most Recognisable Peak - Matterhorn

The makers of Toblerone struck confectionery gold when they adopted the triangular lines of the Matterhorn for their chocolate. At the same time, the Matterhorn logo travelled the world and elicited fascination for its looming form. Seeing it live for the first time is a really confusing experience. It’s a lot bigger than the packet suggests! It looms on the horizon, a giant of the alpine world and probably the most recognisable peak in the world. It is impossible to take one’s eyes off it and fills clients with awe. Time spent in Zermatt is special, made unique and remarkable by the constant presence of the Matterhorn – few peaks are as inescapable. This iconic peak is also viewable from Cervinia on the Italian side. Different perspectives, but the same incomprehensible volume of rock standing tall.

Whatever the Objective

Whether it's a meeting event, ski incentive trip, or product launch, there are truly exceptional alpine locations to host an event. Clients will be left in awe at the natural marvels on the horizon.
