Strengthen your team with a team-building event in St. Gallen, home to the historic abbey
As the cultural and economic hub of eastern Switzerland, St. Gallen brings the modern and the traditional together in a compact space. The city has 111 ornate oriel windows (more than any other Swiss city), a UNESCO-listed library with over 1,400 years of history, a bratwurst tradition dating back to 1438 – and the perfect backdrop for your next team event, designed around your team to make it stronger for the long term.
St. Gallen is perfect for exploring on foot. Get to know St. Gallen on an interactive iPad Rallye through the Old Town, with its distinctive oriel windows and medieval lanes. The route takes you past the Stadtlounge, where streets and entire squares are painted red from edge to edge, all the way to the baroque cathedral and the Abbey Library of St. Gallen. Along the way you tackle exciting challenges that build team spirit, develop your identity as a team and bring you closer together.
Lying between Lake Constance and the Alpstein, St. Gallen is a true outdoor paradise for team-building events. In just a few minutes you reach the expansive shores of Lake Constance – perfect for sporty outdoor activities such as our raft-building event, Beach Games or our teamio 5-Kampf (five-event team Olympics). If you’d rather breathe in the mountain air, Freudenberg or the area towards the Alpstein is the perfect backdrop for outdoor events like our Drone Race with an Alpine panorama.
from €35Every team builds its own section of a giant chain reaction out of dominoes, LEGO and Kapla planks. After the countdown, down it all goes – in the meeting room, the conference hotel or the office.
from €59Pick five challenges from a pool, such as the Mario Kart balloon hunt, Cube Challenge or pipeline building. Everyone chases points in changing teams, with medals, Crémant or a cup on request.
from €49Steer DJI drones through an obstacle course (touching an obstacle adds a time penalty), guide Sphero balls using an iPad and build a drone even though only half the team can see the instructions.
from €49Las Vegas without the risk: at authentic tables you bet, bluff and sweat it out with play money, playing roulette, poker, craps and blackjack.
from €39Quizmaster, wireless buzzers and company-specific questions: teams guess their way through short rounds and funny video challenges. Points are paid out in sweets, but anyone who nibbles spoils their appetite for victory.
from €79Your very own table football table is built from a kit, then christened in a tournament. The fastest team to finish building gets to play at home in the opening match, and the tables can be donated afterwards.
from €59Five winter challenges, from stacking giant presents to building a sleigh in Santa’s workshop: teams collect points towards the overall score, and everyone celebrates together at the awards ceremony, indoors or outdoors.
from €59Wheelbarrow course, hay bale run, milking contest and horseshoe throwing: teams collect points in proper farmyard challenges. The team with the most points takes the golden pitchfork home.
from €49Sandcastle building, a water relay and coconut boules: in small groups you go barefoot from station to station, to a soundtrack of summer hits. We bring the sun cream – safety first!
from €39Longbows with no sights and no technical gadgetry, four ways to compete and a balloon-shooting finale: after a briefing and some warm-up shots, even beginners hit the bullseye. Every team gets its own protective gear.
from €69Build your own cajóns from high-quality kits, then play rhythms in several parts as a team, guided by drum coaches. You can take your box drum home.
from €59Golf without a golf course: clubs in hand, you head over hill and dale, with team tasks such as the golf ball pipeline and ladder golf waiting along the way. In the end, the best team handicap wins.
from €39All the atmosphere of the pub, darts included: teams play 301 through a preliminary round and a knockout stage for the title of company darts champion, while a cheeky hosting team comments on every throw.
from €55Fly drones, send robotic balls racing each other or steer racing cars using an iPad: in this tournament, teams compete using VR, robotics and AI. You choose the stations.
from €79Design a flag, christen your boat, start paddling: the teams race each other in dragon boats while a drummer sets the beat. The winning team gets Crémant, and the flags go on to decorate the canteen.
from €49Everyone gets a real djembe, and our drum coaches lead you step by step from a body percussion warm-up to the big final arrangement. Nobody needs any musical experience.
from €49The feel of curling, minus the ice: on mobile plastic lanes the teams slide their stocks towards the target – in a company building, a hotel or outdoors. Strategy, precision and plenty of cheering.
from €49Sherwood Forest by torchlight: after a short briefing from our trainers, even beginners pick up a longbow and take on the other teams.
from €99Time to clock off and join the video call: with the hosts broadcasting live from a real bar, everyone mixes two cocktails using the contents of the treat box, tries four craft beers and ticks off bingo numbers in between, until a cry of “BINGOOO” echoes through the call.
from €139We set up the stalls right on your company grounds: candied almonds, mulled wine and a winter BBQ, plus an Eisstock curling lane and archery by torchlight if you like.
from €69From wooden planks, hemp ropes, securing straps and barrels, the teams build their own raft, hoist the pirate flag and put on a show to christen it, then take to the water for the regatta.
from €49Soccer-Toss, Quiz-Ball and more: you choose the football activities from over a dozen challenges, and we build them into a tournament that runs from the preliminary rounds to the final – with a golden cup on request.
from €59Geocaching with an expedition rucksack: teams head out into your city in search of the secret of Christmas, solve puzzles and track down hiding places. Homemade Glühwein (hot mulled wine) keeps the cold at bay.
from €55Backpack, walkie-talkie and GPS device: teams hunt for hidden caches, solve puzzles based on their surroundings and tackle challenges together along the way, whether through the undergrowth or the urban jungle.
from €49Soft balls down long corridors, minigolf balls through the spa area, glowing balls in a darkened meeting room: six golf stations turn your office or hotel into a golf course. Do mind the coffee mug!
from €59Teams line up along six rods inside inflatable human table football arenas and play a tournament, with commentators, football hits and Mexican waves for company. The winners walk away with the golden cup.
from €49Frozen lake, snowball pipeline, guess the spice and Santa charades: all teams start at their stations at the same time and chase points. Santa hats are included.
from €49Build company cars, pull off an emergency operation in the Emergency Room or raise a tower: you put your course together from over 20 tasks. And the only way to get it done is together.
from €84The wooden kit lands in your home office, a live host talks you through building the insect hotels over a video call, and a beekeeper tells you about local flora and fauna. The package also includes seeds for a bee-friendly meadow.
from €49iPad, walkie-talkie and a virtual city map: teams hunt for points, complete tasks and answer questions about your company. Fifteen minutes before the end, the live scores disappear – and that’s when it gets really tense.
from €49Your own table football championship: every team founds a club, name and all, then battles through the group stage and knockout rounds while commentators guide you through the tournament like a Saturday-night football show.
from €49Each artists’ collective paints its own canvas around your theme. Then the canvases come together as one large artwork for your company – with a bird’s-eye drone photo, if conditions allow.
from €59The creative box with two canvases, acrylic paints in twelve colours and brushes arrives at home in advance, then everyone paints live on a video call, guided by a professional artist. An online exhibition of your artwork rounds it all off.
from €49Write the script, pick costumes and false beards, shoot, edit: every film crew makes its own short film with an iPad and a collection of props. At the end, all the films are screened at your very own film festival, nominations included.
from €35As a new Europol task force, the teams hunt a master thief: armed with an agent’s case, a puzzle box and a postcard under UV light, they solve puzzles against the clock – and must tread carefully, because their adversary is hot on their heels.
from €59A large CRT television with an N64, a Carrera track and remote-controlled Mario Karts: across three challenges, teams go head to head in races that mix retro nostalgia with full-throttle action. The winning team gets to pop the corks.
Despite its rather small-town charm, St. Gallen has plenty to offer for team events. Whether you want creative indoor workshops, adventurous outdoor activities or exclusive events in historic surroundings, the city has it all in a compact space, with short distances in between. For teams who like to explore on foot, an interactive iPad Rallye through the Old Town is the perfect event. Find your way through winding lanes, past magnificent oriel windows and up and down the city’s famous “1,000 stairways”. Along the way you solve tricky puzzles that get everyone talking and working together. For a relaxed finish to your event, stop for a bite to eat in one of the traditional Old Town inns. Looking for a historic setting for your team event? How about a Kurzfilm Gala at the Forum St. Katharinen, a former convent? The Tonhalle St. Gallen can also be used for team building – and is ideal for indoor activities such as Domino Effekt or a Live Escape Game. If you prefer something more modern, the University of St. Gallen’s Weiterbildungszentrum Holzweid offers suitable rooms with an innovative feel. Teams who love the outdoors and sport are well served too – right inside the city, with no long journeys. The Steinach flows through the middle of St. Gallen and, together with the Drei Weieren, the natural outdoor bathing area close to the city, makes the perfect setting for active outdoor events. Archery, our teamio 5-Kampf or the teamio Biathlon work particularly well here. Want to get even closer to nature? On the shores of Lake Constance, Beach Games, a dragon boat race or our adventurous soapbox derby are waiting for your team. In the surrounding mountains and hiking areas towards the Alpstein, outdoor challenges can be combined with a spectacular mountain panorama. The result: a team experience full of movement, team spirit and Alpine atmosphere.
The kybunpark is home to FC St. Gallen 1879, the oldest football club in Switzerland. In 2023 it was recognised by the Swiss Location Award as one of Switzerland’s most beautiful conference venues. The modern stadium stands out for its location, just 10 minutes from the city centre – and for its extraordinary atmosphere. Feel the real stadium atmosphere with your team on a thrilling iPad Rallye through the arena: past the pitch, through the stands and into the changing rooms. Or pit yourselves against each other in a Kicker Cup or a “Fußballfieber” (football fever) team event. The kybunpark also has bright, modern rooms overlooking the pitch, perfect for company parties, conferences or Christmas parties.
The Tonhalle St. Gallen was built at the start of the 20th century and is regarded as the most beautiful concert hall in the Lake Constance region.

Indoor activities such as Domino Effekt, our Kreativ-Werkstatt (creative workshop) or a Kurzfilm Gala can all be staged here in stylish surroundings. Its central position right by the Old Town makes the Tonhalle an ideal choice for events that combine cultural elegance with team building.
The FigurenTheater St. Gallen is considered to have Switzerland’s richest heritage in puppet and object theatre and was founded in 1956. This charming venue outside the Old Town offers a creative, inspiring atmosphere for distinctive team events that stay with you.
