Overview

Recommended for: Anyone who wants shared moments that feel real.

You're standing with your team in front of a block of snow. The goal: Create something memorable.

Carve your own sculpture from a block of snow. Each team receives identical tools, the same starting conditions, and a shared theme. Creativity, communication, and decisiveness are key. Afterwards, present your creation outside in the quiet of winter. The most convincing wins. Those who think together grow as a team.

Itinerary

Meeting points
Meeting Point

We pick you up at the agreed meeting point and head to the selected location on foot, by train, or by bus. The journey itself is part of the experience. Outside, away from the hustle and bustle, the change in perspective begins.

Introduction
15 mins

Upon arrival at the site, there is a brief introduction. The guides explain the process, show the tools, and introduce the theme. Then you divide into your teams. Each team gets the same block of snow, the same tools, and the same amount of time. The challenge begins.

30 mins

Now it's your turn: think, sketch, start shoveling. You decide together who does what, how your sculpture should look, and how to progress as a team. It's about communication, speed, ideas, craftsmanship. In the end, each work is presented. You step up, explain your artwork, and give your art work a voice. The most convincing wins. Those who think together grow as a group.

Awards & Aperitif
30 mins - 1 hr

The best sculptures are awarded, but every idea, every collaboration, and every result is celebrated. You will find that the process of creating leaves a more lasting impression than the applause. A fine aperitif makes a perfect addition!

Conclusion & Return
0

Together with new energy, you return to the starting point. Conversations along the way are more lively than before. And those who barely knew each other before now walk side by side back to the base or starting point.

End of the Event
15 mins

Upon returning to the starting point, you hand over the materials and say your goodbyes. The sculptures remain behind as silent witnesses of a successful day. But you continue on as a team!

Weather info

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.

Activity-specific weather info

Our events can be affected by weather conditions; however, it is difficult to predict exactly how an event will be impacted until closer to the event day. We monitor conditions carefully to ensure all activities remain within our safety limits, and bad weather does not necessarily mean a cancellation.

If we are unable to run an event as planned, we will do our best to adjust the program to offer a similar experience or to find an alternative date. If neither option is possible, we will provide a full refund.
