The choice of location is an important factor for the success of your seminars, events and incentives. Not only the conference rooms, but also the gastronomy and the surroundings play a central role. Here in the Saanenland, the possibilities are almost limitless. We have put together 33 experiences for your social programme, which we would like to present to you, so that the participants can take part in experiences that will remain in their memories for a long time to come, in addition to the daily seminar routine:

1. Cooking class: the participants prepare their dinner together with our team – there is also an aperitif in the hotel kitchen and a recipe booklet for everyone.

2. Shaken or stirred: The slightly different aperitif – the participants mix their own cocktails under expert guidance and at the end, they receive a cocktail recipe book to take home. The perfect treat when the program leaves little time for activities.

3. BBQ with various types of meat and fish on the wonderful Golfhotel terrace or in a cozy spot.

4. Cheese fondue: or a raclette evening in the Swiss restaurant Bärengraben or or at the enchanting Chalet Le Gessenay.

5. Sausage delights: enjoy homemade sausages with fried grated potatoes to your heart’s content accompanied by a cool beer at 1268 meters above sea level for that year-round “Oktoberfest” feeling.

6. Cheese buffet with 20 types of cheeses from the region, accompanied by potatoes and salad.

7. Gourmet menu: A first-class menu with 6 or 8 courses.

8. Postbus: Take a nostalgic drive into the blue with an antique postal bus built in 1950, an experience second to none!

9. Tavolata Italiana: various pastas and an antipasti buffet like in Italy.

10. Fondue Chinoise with meat and fish – is always delicious and especially cozy.

11. Beef tenderloin in hay: something very special – local meat is slowly cooked in hay –
as soft as butter and tastes incredible.

Beyond the hotel, but still Golfhotel-like

12. Picnic lunch in the countryside: a cervelat sausage, sandwich picnic is waiting for you somewhere in a lovely spot.

13. Cheese fondue in the countryside: prepare the cheese fondue yourself in a large fondue caquelon pot or fondue hut and enjoy it outdoors – fondue never tasted better.

14. BBQ by the river side: Get out of the hotel – clear your head – brain food on the green meadow. This activates the brain cells and is good for everyone.

15. In the stable or on the hayloft: raclette or fondue evening.
