Examples of outings for Corporate contexts

 

Generally we propose 1 day outings or half days (from 2 hours and more), and sometimes we organize week-end outings.

 

Walkandtalk proposes 3 main types of corporate activities:

 

• specially organised to suit a training objective, for example a segmented walk with specific timings and paths large enough to accommodate 2 people walking together and discussing a subject
• specifically organised to provide a small excursion or a prestige visit for guests during a seminar or to take a break from a working session, for example a half-day trip to an emblematic area of Switzerland (Gruyère, Lavaux UNESCO, Rochers de Naye, Les Diablerets, Romainmotier ...)
• specially focused on fun and leisure, as a reward for employees at the end of the year for example, which would typically include activities such as snowshoe-fondue outings, full-moon snowshoe outings or a stroll in the Lavaux UNESCO vineyards ending with a wine-tasting session 

 

Here are a few ideas (but we have lots more!-):

 

Lavaux UNESCO, 2 hours, half day or full day: discovery walk in the UNESCO world heritage territory, with wine-tasting as an option. Lots of variants are possible, including trips with the CGN (Compagnie Générale de Navigation) boats on the Lac Léman (Geneva Lake). More information here.

 

Snowshoe outings (daylight): whole day snowshoe outings. We can rent out full snowshoeing equipment, examples here.

 

Snowshoe outings (moonlight): evening outings, 2-3 hours in the snow under the moon with a fondue at the end! We can rent out full snowshoeing equipment.

 

Daylong hikes: whole day activities and hikes. Examples here.

 

Les Diablerets, half-day discovery tour starting from Aigle train station, up to Les Diablerets in a specially reserved historical train, discovery stroll through the village and surroundings, fondue at the Restaurant de la Poste and back down to Aigle on the train again. In collaboration with Guides-Nature. Suited for large groups too.

 

Geology discovery outings, half day, examples here.

 

Walkandtalk also proposes outdoor activities coupled with a “therapeutical” approach to solve crisis situations within a professional environment. We have developed a successful partnership with a specialized therapist established in Lausanne. The outdoor sessions allow participants to discuss issues through dedicated workshops that take place in the “great outdoors” and include animations, games and collaborative tasks specially tailored to the group's or the management's demands. The amount of walking involved is also discussed beforehand of course.
