Team events with culinary highlights

For this exclusive experience, the St Beatus Caves are set aglow with a sea of lights. Well-equipped with an insulating seating mat and everything required for a delicious Raclette, you will head off to the grotto. There you will be served a hearty, all-you-can-eat Raclette made with prize-winning cheese. The meal also includes bacon, pickled vegetables, fruit and biscuits with your coffee. As a farewell gift you will receive a small Raclette set with candle in a cloth bag, as a souvenir of this unique experience.

Delicious salmon prepared directly on the open fire. An outdoor lounge is set up exactly where you want it. Equally flexible is your choice as to whether to enjoy your flamed salmon in a roll as an aperitif or as a plate portion with salad and baked potatoes as a main course. The open fire in the middle not only makes for a crackling backdrop, it also provides the ideal starting point to fire up your team for the upcoming challenges they will share together.

What's your favourite flavour – caramelo al burro salado, amarena or elderflower and poppyseed? For all those who wait impatiently for the first summer-time visit to the ice cream parlour, La Golosa in Bern is offering a team event with an entirely new kind of flavour. From November through to March, teams can take part in an ice cream workshop and find the answer to that crucial question: Who makes the very best ice cream?

Whether for a small team or a large group, Chillfood turns every event into an authentic adventure. The menus are kept simple: for example, a raclette from the fire oven, a Bergell chestnut pot with cream or fire-braised cinnamon apples. Your "out of the box" kitchen is set up in such unusual places as a quarry, industrial hall, river bank or Alpine hut. All without electricity, and with just embers, togetherness and tasty regional ingredients, use this experience to remind your team that less is often more.

For home-brewed beer and a richly varied cuisine, look no further than the brewery and restaurant "Altes Tramdepot" in Bern. The venue also offers the opportunity for you and your team to have a go at brewing your own beer.

The event lasts for around five hours and is ideal for groups of 12 to 30 people.

Where do they hide the precious gold of the Alps while it ripens? Between cooling rock faces that keep the ambient temperature at 7°Celsius. The cheese grotto of Gstaad, located 25 meters below ground in the district's former water reservoir, is the ripening chamber for more than 3000 cheese wheels. Expert-guided tours to learn all about Bernese Hobelkäse PDO, with drinks and nibbles, can be booked all year round at Molkerei Gstaad.

Would you like to gain insight into the art of brewing craft beer whilst sampling a variety of Simmental beers? Then treat your group to a tour of the Simmental craft brewery. The viewing includes delicious snacks and the opportunity to taste the full current range of Simmental beers. If you would like to delve deeper into the secrets of beer brewing, you can also book a brewing course and have your own brewed beer delivered to your home or office.

At Restaurant Alpenblick in Adelboden, tradition is coupled with modernity. The concept has proved successful – the restaurant has been awarded 16 GaultMillau points. With an individually devised cookery course, you and your team are at the very heart of the action and can look over the shoulders of prize-winning chef Björn Inniger. A maximum of 10 participants can reach for the ladle and pan and join forces in creating a sophisticated menu.
