Summit meetings with added value

The summer months in the Alps are an invitation to rethink meetings and conferences. Instead of conference rooms with neon lights and air conditioning, you can expect fresh mountain air, natural silence and a wide horizon - ideal conditions for breaking free from habitual thought patterns and making bold decisions.

The alpine environment promotes concentration, clarity and creative thinking. The combination of tranquillity, exercise in nature and an environment far removed from everyday life creates the best conditions for productive discussions, strategic planning and inspiring encounters. If you go to the mountains in summer, you don't just make the most of the scenery - you open up new perspectives.

What many underestimate: The tourist infrastructure in Swiss winter sports resorts is also fully available in summer - often even more exclusive and personal. High-quality seminar hotels, well-equipped conference rooms, well thought-out logistics solutions and creative event service providers are ready to turn your conference into an experience.

Thanks to seasonally lower capacity utilization, you often benefit from more flexibility, attractive conditions and individual and attentive support in summer. Many hotels are also ideally equipped for hybrid conferences.

Physical activity supports mental performance - this is no longer a secret. In the Alps, this realization becomes a practical possibility. A hike to a mountain lake between sessions, a yoga session on the sun terrace or a joint e-bike adventure - this is a great way to recharge your batteries during meetings. Guided tours, team-building experiences and sporting challenges also create powerful experiences that last a long time.

Switzerland scores with excellent public transport links. Even high-altitude mountain destinations are easily accessible by train and mountain railroad - often without a car. Numerous destinations offer guest cards with included use of public transport and discounts on regional attractions.

Switzerland also sets standards when it comes to sustainability: many hotels are certified according to ecological standards, focus on regional products, resource-conserving operation and CO₂-neutral offers. This is not only good for your conscience - but also a plus point in the communication of your conference.

Here we present five hotels that offer everything a successful summit meeting needs - from inspiring locations to excellent facilities:

1. Säntis - the hotel, Schwägalp (Appenzellerland)

Located directly at the valley station of the Säntis cable car, this hotel is an ideal retreat with spectacular mountain views. 12 light-flooded seminar rooms, regional cuisine and a wide range of fringe programs - such as summit meetings at 2,500 meters or workshops in the herb garden - make it a special conference venue.

Added value: High alpine tranquillity, state-of-the-art technical equipment, diverse excursion destinations such as the treetop path or the nature adventure park.

2. Lenkerhof gourmet spa resort, Lenk (Bernese Oberland)

Five-star superior with a feel-good factor: the Lenkerhof offers stylish meeting rooms, an excellent spa with sulphur bath, gourmet cuisine and direct access to nature. Perfect for retreats, incentives or high-level conferences with style and substance.

Added value: Exclusive atmosphere with direct alpine panorama, outdoor team building in the Simmental, own event managers on site.

3. Valbella Resort, Lenzerheide (Graubünden)

A versatile all-rounder in a fantastic location directly on Lake Heidsee. With seven individually configurable seminar rooms, sports and wellness facilities and creative activity modules, the Valbella Resort is an ideal address for creative formats and agile teams.

Added value: Lake access for water sports activities, mountain bike tours from the front door, attractive packages for corporate events.

4. Frutt Mountain Resort, Melchsee-Frutt (Central Switzerland)

1,920 meters above everyday life - and yet perfectly developed. The car-free resort on the Melchsee-Frutt high plateau combines modern architecture with natural tranquillity. Intensive workshops and relaxed incentives with a view of the lake are just as successful here.

Added value: Peace and quiet thanks to the car-free location, high-quality cuisine, access to hiking trails and glacier paths right on the doorstep.

5. Walliserhof Grand-Hotel & Spa, Saas-Fee (Valais)

An elegant retreat in the glacier resort of Saas-Fee. The Grand Hotel offers luxurious rooms, bright conference rooms, a modern spa and extraordinary experiences such as summer skiing or glacier trekking. The combination of stylish ambience and alpine nature is unique.

Added value: High alpine backdrop with 4,000-metre peaks, adventure programs around the eternal ice, CO₂-free location, ideal for sustainable conferences.

In summer, the Swiss Alps not only offer a beautiful backdrop, but also a real development environment - for ideas, teams, strategies and business relationships. If you are looking for an environment that inspires rather than distracts, that motivates rather than tires and that connects rather than isolates - then you have come to the right place.
