…embrace the winter spirit
Winter in Germany offers plenty of thrilling outdoor experiences that are perfect for team building and creating unforgettable memories. From exploring vibrant Christmas markets to participating in seasonal sportive activities, there are many opportunities for groups to come together and strengthen their bonds. Let’s explore some popular winter activities that can be enjoyed in the heart of the city center!
Christmas Market Bicycle Taxi Tour
Berlin in Advent for instance is beautiful! Squares and streets are festively lit, the anticipation for Christmas can be felt. On a bike taxi tour, one enjoys the pre-Christmas atmosphere in the city. Lights, glitter, Christmas scents and Christmas decorations everywhere! On tour one can immerse in the romantic atmosphere and hop from Christmas market to Christmas market. Sightseeing from a new, relaxed perspective. With thick blankets on board the tour is a cozy experience even in cool temperatures. Going along, stops are made to warm everybody up with hot mulled wine and sweet steamed noodles.
Creating Something Extraordinary – Ice Sculptures
This is about building own ice sculptures in teams. For instance, in a snow-covered Berlin beer garden attendees get to work with sculpting tools in teams. The team’s creativity should run free, and they can carve, for example, the company logo or mascot out of one of the blocks of ice. Before one gets down to work, the ice artist will cut three cuts with the chainsaw to make it easier to design each block of ice. After completing the ice sculpture, the artist has another turn, smooths the surfaces and spectacularly refines each figure with fire & flame. With warming drinks the team ends the event full of pride in the work of art they have created! The additional WOW factor is created by the Swedish fire baskets as well as by colorful spotlights that put the figures in the limelight. A unique show that one will never forget!
Ice Curling
The ice curling sport in city centers during the winter time is very popular. Especially at Christmas time, curling is a popular topic. Right from the first shot with the curling stick, the fascination of this winter sport won’t let go. Whether for customers or companies, in a relaxed atmosphere or as a competition in teams – everything is possible. When playing on plastic lanes, it is not much different than typical curling in the Alps on frozen lakes. The approximately 3kg heavy ice sticks of the teams have to be shot alternately as close as possible to a target point. The team with the sticks closest to the target point wins the most points. The lanes in the winter season are regularly set up in backyards of restaurants, beer gardens or even on a spacious, snow-covered median of famous streets & avenues. And, of course, the accompanying mulled wine is a must!
Ice Skating
Why not host the company’s Christmas party on an ice rink? This popular winter sport offers fun and exercise at the same time. Skating together on an ice surface that is exclusively available for a group of colleagues or customers. Ice rinks can be found all over town during the winter season. The program can be designed individually. One can slide through a tricky course, compete for the fastest skater on the ice, or play small team games. Whatever is decided, a professional trainer is always on site with advice and pays attention to safety. At the beginning, he will explain how to correctly skate and show tips and tricks for keeping the physical balance on the slippery surface. Of course, warming drinks will not be missing.
