Description
Designed as a full winter Olympics for your organisation, the Snow Challenge brings your teams together on an exceptional outdoor site surrounded by snow-covered forests and stunning alpine panoramas.

A permanent refreshment stand (mulled wine, hot and cold drinks, cake) keeps energy levels high throughout the challenge.
Each team completes a circuit of sporting and fun stations, designed to be accessible to all fitness levels. The programme includes:
- Ice hockey

- Giant slalom

- Human Curling
- Blindfolded obstacle course
- Snow pétanque

After a group briefing led by your Takamaka guides, teams split across the activity stations. At the end of the challenge, a final ranking is announced and teams are celebrated. The activity can take the form of a competitive team building event or a relaxed group entertainment session, depending on your seminar objectives.
