Client Hospitality
Entertaining your top clients effectively involves providing an innovative idea, backed up by a perfectly run event. A ski weekend is certainly a great solution and at The Corporate Ski Company we can work in the background to ensure a first class and smoothly operated event leaving you the time to network with your key clients.
In addition we can also incorporate the weekend to combine with an internationally famous event such as:
- St Moritz Adrenaline Pump Weekend - (Cresta Run & Bob)
- Chateau D'Oex Balloon Festival
- The Weisse Schuss in Flims (down-hill festival)
- White Turf (famous race horse race meeting on the lake in St Moritz)
- 24 Heures Sur Glace in Chamonix (annual ice driving event in February)
Case studies:
Introduction
A leading investment bank wanted to host a VIP weekend for their top clients. It was essential to find a resort known worldwide for its top class skiing, and to find a first class hotel solution that the clients had not already been to, thus adding greater value to the event
Key Elements of the Brief
- 60 clients and staff
- 3 day duration
- Top class location to entice clients to attend
- 5 star deluxe quality hotel
- Good European flight access
- World-renowned skiing
The Solution
This was an event that we planned for a client who enjoys entertaining clients in the best European resorts. As the client had already visited Davos in the past and since we knew that this was a favourite resort, we felt that this was an acceptable solution. A reasonable transfer time with a high standard of accommodation satisfied their requirements.
Highlights & Challenges
- Due to delegates arriving on separate flights, all delegates were transferred on an individual basis
- Motivational speech by Joe Simpson, famous mountaineer and explorer
- Traditional Swiss dinner in a mountain restaurant followed by a descent by toboggan!
- The entire group were equipped with ski hire equipment prior to the first meeting session, which involved making special arrangements with the ski hire shop
- All delegates were divided into 8 ski classes depending on ability and on the slopes within 30 minutes
Feedback
'With many thanks for your fabulous help in organising the ski weekend in Davos. It has been a great success.'
Introduction
A leading I.T. company has held a winter ski weekend for many years but this year they wanted something extra!
Key Elements of the Brief
- 20 persons
- 5 star hotel with single occupancy accommodation
- World renowned event to entice clients to attend the event
- Skiing for all abilities
The Solution
We needed to find something that was different to any other ski weekend and therefore give them something to talk about for years to come. Having previously researched all major events in the Alps it was decided that the Chateau D’Oex Balloon Festival ticked all the right boxes and this was conveniently located close to the chic resort of Gstaad.
Highlights & Challenges
- As this is a major event in the winter calendar, sourcing accommodation and group balloon flights was the most challenging aspect for The Corporate Ski Company.
- The highlight was certainly the balloon flights and fireworks display
Feedback
Thank you so much for organising a fantastic event. This is certainly one to remember and exceeded our expectations.
Introduction
A global investment bank wanted to host a VIP weekend for its top clients in a well known resort. A 5 star service was required at all times in terms of hotel, restaurants, activities and all logistical arrangements..
Key Elements of the Brief
- A high profile resort
- 5 star accommodation
- 35 persons
- Group activities as well as skiing time
- Fine dining and wines
The Solution
St. Moritz fitted the bill here as it certainly has the prestigious name and is a chic resort. It also boasts a range of fine quality hotels. Although the transfer time is fairly long, the content of the programme made up for this plus some individuals were able to fly into the local airfield to shorten the travel time.
Highlights & Challenges
- Curling competition set up with different challenges
- Private hire of mountain restaurant and chair lift
- Ski race so it was necessary to arrange closure of the piste and security for this group
- Reservation of a private area in one of the top nightclubs
Feedback
'The best yet as has been confirmed by the consensus! A differentiating event and one that I believe few could ever beat in terms of objectives versus achievement. As ever you pulled the rabbit out for us and we are indebted. Thank you.'
'I would like to thank you for all your hard work and professionalism. Yet again I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your team – we could not do it without you!'
