Description
A Creative & Competitive Team Building in the Heart of the Alps
Inspired by the great American soapbox tradition, the Icy Push Car takes your teams on a hands-on, creative and sporty adventure. Starting from raw materials — cardboard, tape, tubes and paint — each team designs and builds its own racing vehicle, decorates it and launches it on the snow. This activity sparks creativity, strengthens team bonds, and delivers memories that your colleagues will talk about long after the seminar is over.
The Icy Push Car Chamonix unfolds in three complementary phases, blending collective thinking, creativity and adrenaline:
- Stage 1 – Build It: Armed with cardboard, tape, tubes and paint, teams construct their vehicle from the ground up. Ingenuity and teamwork are everything!
- Stage 2 – Decorate & Equip: Head to the Mario & Luigi shop to negotiate horns, costumes, stickers and collector accessories. Imagination knows no limits here — and the bargaining can quickly turn hilarious!
- Stage 3 – Race Day: 3, 2, 1… Go! Teams launch onto the snowy track. Two titles ar
- 2h to 2h30
- For groups of 12 or more

FAQ
Is the Icy Push Car suitable for all participants?
Yes, the Icy Push Car is designed to be accessible to everyone regardless of fitness level. The build and decoration phases allow each participant to contribute according to their strengths — whether practical, creative or strategic. The final race brings an exciting dose of adrenaline for the whole group.
What is the difference between the Push Car and the Icy Push Car?
The standard Takamaka Push Car takes place on a dry track without snow. The Icy Push Car is the winter version, held on snow in Chamonix. The snow adds an extra dimension to the race — more sliding, more unpredictability, and an incredible alpine backdrop.
How long does the Icy Push Car activity last?
Duration varies according to group size and options, but typically expect 2 to 3 hours including the build, decoration, shop visit and final race. The activity fits perfectly into a half-day corporate seminar programme in Chamonix.
What is the Mario & Luigi shop?
One of the most popular and quirky elements of the activity! During the decoration phase, teams can visit the shop run by Mario and Luigi characters to negotiate (or even attempt to steal!) accessories: horns, costumes, stickers, collector suits… A negotiation and strategy sequence that adds real spice to the team building experience.
When can the Icy Push Car be organised in Chamonix?
The Icy Push Car runs during the winter season when snow conditions allow, generally from December to April. Thanks to Chamonix's reliable snowfall and high altitude, the activity is available across a wide winter window. Contact our team to check availability for your seminar date.
