The route
Day 1
The Asia Trophy 2022 started off officially in Interlaken, Bernese Oberland. The 1st rally stop at Congress Kursaal Interlaken demanded our participants to play a selection of alpine games including Unspunnen stone throw, Talerschwingen and Flag Throwing. What a fun start and most importantly, these games are great activities for your future groups.
After power lunch in Victoria-Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, the teams continued our route to Grindelwald. A special ride on new Eiger Express cabins brought us in 15 minutes to the 2nd rally stop on the Eigergletscher, where teams could compete in fun-climbing and skiing amid the winter wonderland. Our Day 1 programme was summed up at Hotel Seepark Thun where the teams experienced a special gourmet moments of the local cuisine.
Day 2
The programme started with a train ride from romantic Thun to Switzerland's biggest city - Zürich. The teams warmed up with water games and boccia before continuing to the partner workshop at the Zurich Marriott Hotel.
After the business meetings were done, we went on to Lindt - World of chocolate. Our teams were able to demonstrate their skills at the chocolate tasting and answer challenging questions about the interactive Lindt exhibition.
A refreshing boat ride brought us back to Zurich, where we were able to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the Christmas market.
Day 3
Day 3 of the rally led to Davos. Switching from modern trains to the nostalgic RhB Rhätische Bahn trains, the teams reached the highest city in Europe. Here, the participants could not only experience the exemplary hospitality of the Alpengold Hotel, but also try their hand at table-setting. Then it was off to the mountains. After a hearty lunch at the Fuxagüfer, the teams competed in the winter games of sledding, snowball throwing and snow golf. Everyone had their first experience on skis. The gala dinner in the chapel of the Hard Rock Hotel 🎸 was the crowning finale of the day. All the teams put in a great performance and were able to celebrate at the end. And the Trophy Cup went to ... Thailand with Team Chalet 🎉 ! Congratulations to the winner and safe flight back!!!
