The annual company outing is far more than a nice day out of the office. Planned well, it's a strategic tool for team cohesion, motivation, and employee retention. But the crucial question remains: what do we do? In South Tyrol, the options are endless — from wine tastings to mountain hut hikes. But one activity stands out because it combines everything a perfect company outing needs: the Dolomites zipline in San Vigilio di Marebbe.
The Zipline: The Number 1 Company Outing Idea
What makes the zipline the best company outing in South Tyrol? It unites four factors that no other activity can offer simultaneously:
1. Memorability
"Three months after the outing, my employees still talk about it. With last year's wine tasting, the topic was exhausted after a week." — HR Director, industrial company in Bolzano
The Dolomites zipline burns itself into memory. Seven lines across the valley, up to 80 km/h, 100 metres above ground — these are moments you don't forget. Every employee has a story to tell afterwards.
2. Genuine Team Building
"On the platform at 100 metres, the CEO encouraged the intern. In that moment, all hierarchies collapsed." — Department Head, IT company in Brixen
Shared challenge creates bonds that no workshop can achieve. When colleagues leave their comfort zone together, trust and respect emerge on an entirely new level. Read more about outdoor vs indoor team building.
3. Instagram-Worthy Content
Every participant receives a 4K video of their flights. These aren't just personal memories — they're content for corporate communications, LinkedIn, and career pages. A single company outing delivers material for months.
4. Universal Participation
No special physical requirements. Minimum age 10, no upper age limit. From the 22-year-old working student to the 65-year-old company owner — everyone can participate.
Planning the company outing for autumn? September and October are the most popular months — milder temperatures, crystal-clear views of the Dolomites, and fewer tourists. Book at least 4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.
The Comparison: Zipline vs. Alternatives
Wine Tasting
- Fun factor: moderate
- Team building effect: low — sitting side by side, drinking and chatting
- Memorability: low — "Which wine was that again?"
- Verdict: Pleasant, but interchangeable
Mountain Hike
- Fun factor: moderate to high (weather dependent)
- Team building effect: moderate — walking together bonds, but without emotional peaks
- Memorability: moderate
- Verdict: Classic, but unsurprising
Cooking Class
- Fun factor: high
- Team building effect: moderate — collaboration in the kitchen, but in a safe setting
- Memorability: moderate
- Verdict: Entertaining, but lacks the "wow" factor
Dolomites Zipline
- Fun factor: very high
- Team building effect: very high — shared challenge creates deep bonds
- Memorability: extremely high — participants talk about it for months
- Verdict: The clear number 1
Tax Deductibility: In Italy, expenses for company outings and team building activities are tax-deductible as business expenses, provided they are documented and justified by business reasons. The costs for the zipline, transfers, and lunch can qualify under these categories. Consult your accountant for the specific arrangements applicable to your company.
