Erna Low Corporate Ski Events
Introduction
Ernalow can help you with corporate ski travel today!
There’s no event too big or small that we can’t help with – be it a brief escape for the team from the confines of the office, or a reward for successful quarterly or year-end performance. With 75 years of experience in the industry we have an unmatched expertise for skiing and snowboarding. This means that we’re ideally placed to assist you in organising your corporate ski weekend or incentive program.
You may have a distinct idea of what it is you’re trying to achieve, or perhaps need a little inspiration on all things mountain. Whatever the circumstances our team will match your requirements to a proposal that’s tailor made to deliver on your KPI’s. By providing you with clear and concise information on the whole event you’ll also be able to demonstrate the fantastic ROI to be gained from a corporate ski weekend.
For every trip that we organise we design a bespoke programme. To give you a taster of what you will experience a few examples of briefings from clients, with a sample Itinerary for each are shown below.
Corporate Ski Travel Assistance
Why a ski weekend?
Establish contacts, maintain relationships
Even with modern technology, modern business still depends on contacts and relationships which can be difficult to nurture amongst the hustle and bustle of the city. The days of the company jolly on a whim to a swanky destination are long gone. But through this readjustment so the value of hosting and developing business via targeted hospitality or incentives has increased.
If you haven’t already done it – you should!
Over 1 million skiers from the UK went in search of the slopes last year and the market keeps on growing. That means that the odds are that someone you work with sneaks off to spend a week or two of their own time on skis or a board each year. Ask anyone who’s ever tried skiing or snowboarding to tell you about their experiences and you’d better have at least half an hour free! The conversation will rapidly descend into a myriad of tall tales and comic-tragedy – all on the side of a mountain!
A truly inspirational event
The power of the mountains affects everyone who touches a fresh fall of the white stuff, and whether you succeed at the sport or not, everyone can feel a sense of achievement at having conquered their own slope regardless of the level of difficulty. Also by investing in an event that inspires and lives long in the memory, you gain the edge over your competitors and their run-of-the-mill drinks and canapés.
Acceptable journey times
Time in the workplace is a valuable commodity to everyone, and clearly time out of the office needs to be kept to a minimum, whilst maximising the wow factor of your event. With a host of excellent resorts within 1½ hours flying time of London what better way to re-focus, re-develop or reward those people who directly affect the success of your business?
