Event

Not everywhere in the world people build their houses out of concrete or wood. With this igloo-building team event, follow in the footsteps of the ancient Inuit culture and learn how to protect yourself from the Arctic cold with ice and snow. With fun and joy, you will develop a whole new sense of community in winter conditions!

After a nice climb through the forest and open spaces with snowshoes, you will be welcomed by our guides at the "igloo site". After instruction in the tools, the so-called "snow saw", you are ready to go.

Experience what it means to make a difference together. Building block by building block, you can show how well you work together - in this project, even the most experienced hare can still learn something! Help each other and work towards a visible result, then the reward in the mountain hut will taste all the better.

Strengthened, you then jump onto your Zipflbobs and enjoy an action-packed downhill run into the valley as the racy highlight.

Optionally, we will be happy to treat you to a delicious dinner in the mountain hut.

This exciting igloo building team event guarantees fun, action and community off the beaten track. Contact us and we will be happy to cater to your individual wishes.
