Snow shoes, igloo and fondue

When it comes to team building and fun events, it's hard to beat snow shoe walking up a mountain, kicking back in an igloo drinking mulled white wine, followed by a traditional Swiss meal of fondue with bread and potatoes.

You certainly work up an appetite after walking across deep snow for about an hour, wearing only your warm winter clothes, a flashlight on your head and shoe shoes that are a modern day version of tennis rackets on your feet.  Walking in single file, you had to concentrate not to fall over and roll down the mountain!

Taking a well earnt rest at the igloo Stockhorn by the frozen lake, it gave you an opportunity to sit on sheepskins over the ice blocks in the cavernous snow house.  With ice sculptures all around, you take in the mavel of this special candle lit ambience whilst drinking the hot spicy wine, knowing that you are in the middle of a vast white landscape.

Being over 1,700 metres up from the gondola lift base station, the air was crisp, the snow was powdery and was a real work out for a lot of my colleagues on this this teambuilding night out.  It was rounded off nicely with a traditional Swiss meal of fondue and some alcohol.  Click the link to find out more about this cuisine, you'll be surprised what it's all about.
