A visit to the Reichenbach Waterfalls combines nature and history in a truly unique way.

The Aare Gorge is the perfect place for teams to consciously slow down and unwind in the heart of nature. Walking together through the impressive gorge, accompanied by the sound of rushing water and surrounded by rock walls up to 200 metres high, creates distance from everyday life and invites moments of mindful pause. For groups, a cosy gathering at the on-site restaurant afterwards provides the perfect ending to the experience. The atmospheric evening illuminations in July and August are a special highlight: every Friday and Saturday evening, part of the gorge is beautifully illuminated, creating a unique setting for relaxed team moments far away from seminar routines.

After an intense meeting, consciously slow down for a moment: the XXL fondue caquelon offers the perfect setting to do just that.

Sit together in the giant caquelon, let your gaze wander across the mountain scenery and simply enjoy the moment – switching off could not be easier. The fondue naturally encourages everyone to slow down. As the cheese melts gently, meaningful conversations and relaxed encounters arise within the team. Sharing a meal from one pot creates closeness and connection without a formal setting. The experience becomes a soothing break that strengthens team spirit and leaves lasting memories.

A paper-cutting workshop is the perfect supporting programme for teams to consciously unwind and get creative together. Under expert guidance, participants learn the techniques of this traditional craft and receive practical tips on creating beautiful paper-cut designs.

Depending on the group, everyone creates either their own framed artwork or small greeting cards to take home – a lasting reminder of the shared experience. The programme is weather-independent, the duration can be tailored individually and it is ideal as a relaxed conclusion or a creative break between programme points.
