Take your team out of the office and into the snow. Mountful Hikes creates private winter company outings in the Swiss Alps, from a few hours on snowshoes followed by fondue to a complete day in the mountains. No previous snowshoeing experience is needed for most outings. We choose the route and level of challenge to suit your group and the conditions.
Location
Swiss Alps, with the location chosen according to your group, snow conditions and programme.
Duration
From a few hours to a full winter day or longer.
Experience
Most outings require no previous snowshoeing experience.
Tailor-made
Route, pace, activities and food options are adapted to your group
A winter day your team will remember
Snowshoeing is a simple way to leave the busy ski resorts behind and experience the quieter side of the Alps together.
We design the day around your group. That might mean a relaxed snowshoe walk followed by lunch, a longer mountain route, a navigation challenge in the snow or an evening outing ending with fondue in a mountain restaurant.
What could your winter outing look like?
- A half-day snowshoe outing
- A full winter team day in the mountains
- Snowshoeing followed by lunch or fondue
- A winter navigation or team challenge
- An evening snowshoe outing
- A longer or multi-day winter experience where appropriate
Not every winter outing needs an objective beyond spending a great day together. If you do want to add a teambuilding element, we can incorporate shared challenges or navigation activities into the programme.
Designed for your group
You don’t need to be an experienced mountaineer to enjoy a winter outing. We select the route, distance and level of challenge according to your group’s fitness, experience and expectations, as well as the snow and weather conditions.
For larger groups, we add qualified mountain professionals and can divide the team into smaller groups while keeping the overall experience together.
Snowshoes and safety
Our snowshoe outings are led by qualified International Mountain Leaders and planned according to the terrain and current conditions. Snowshoes and poles can be arranged for your group, and avalanche safety equipment is provided or required where the terrain and conditions call for it.
And then, something warm
A winter outing doesn’t have to end when the snowshoes come off.
Depending on the programme and location, we can finish with a mountain lunch, fondue, dinner in a restaurant or another relaxed way to round off the day together.
Professional mountain leadership
Every programme is designed with the group, terrain and conditions in mind. Hiking and snowshoeing activities are led by qualified International Mountain Leaders, with additional qualified professionals added for larger groups.
Where an activity or terrain requires a different or higher technical qualification, we work with the appropriate specialist or UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guides.
Experiences
A mountain day is often even better when it ends around a table.
Depending on the programme, we can include a mountain lunch, picnic, fondue, dinner in a refuge or an overnight stay as part of the experience.
