Climbing, archery, Flying Fox XXL: team events strengthen the team spirit  
Excitement is a great addition to any team event, and Saalfelden Leogang has plenty of it on offer – from its via ferratas to the Flying Fox XXL zip line. “That being said, however," says Anna Oja of Outdoor Team Geisler, "action-oriented outdoor programmes act as both a mirror and a projection screen in a non-work environment. They are a great way to strengthen the team from the inside out.” Supervisors and employees get to experience memorable adventures together. Working on tasks as a team helps to foster trust and security in dealing with one another and thus also strengthens the sense of unity. Active events that challenge teams to master unusual situations and root for each other can lead to permanent improvements of the working atmosphere.
Archery, for example, boosts team skills such as dexterity and concentration. Another fascinating option: Attend a herbal workshop with your team and thus learn about Traditional European Medicine (TEM). Participants of the course learn about the healing properties of our native plants. Afterwards, participants prepare their own tincture using freshly picked herbs and roots or create an herbal ointment, all under expert guidance.
 

Mountain bike routes, ÖAMTC driving safety training and team activities with plenty of action 
Teams seeking a physical challenge should visit the Epic Bikepark Leogang. One of Europe’s most renowned facilities of its kind, it has been the heart and soul of our bike region for more than 20 years. Beginners of all ages can practice in the so-called Riders Playground. It’s the ideal place to navigate the trails, stones and roots down the mountain. The "Elements Outdoorsports” bike school offers team trainings to improve your riding technique. In addition, there are incentive e-bike tours for groups of different ability levels. The tours, which lead you through the stunning natural landscapes of our region, strengthen your ability to work as a team while promoting individual self-esteem, consideration for others and a sense of fairness.
Another rewarding activity: off-road training sessions at the ÖAMTC driving safety centre in Saalfelden. The adventure park at the ÖAMTC grounds is just the thing for four-wheel drive fans. Guaranteed fun and action await on its varied outdoor karting circuit. Here, participants can improve their driving techniques on the skid pad, in the forest course or in the aquaplaning pool and learn how to deal with unpredictable traffic situations. In winter, there is the possibility to improve your driving skills at the ice arena. Nature-based team building workshops can also be booked with Outdoor-Team Geisler. They are an excellent environment to relax, spend quality time together and have adventures far from the day-to-day of the office. Creativity and a connection to nature are encouraged. The outdoor team offers courses for canyoning, rafting, 3D-hunting archery and mountain bike tours.
