          SMS Corporate Teambuilding and related Activities

In line with research on the transfer, into professional life, of skills acquired in outdoor teambuilding activities, SMS has developed engaging, competence-based activities focusing on motivation, competition and collaboration, time keeping, and other important elements. All programmes are tailor-made, and SMS can deliver programmes which range from a couple of hours to complex ‘all inclusive’ services (transport, accommodation, meals, activities, etc). While it is rewarding to experience these in the environs of Crans-Montana and the Rhone Valley, we have the capacity to create and manage bespoke programmes throughout Switzerland, and indeed beyond – both in Europe and worldwide. Do contact us to discuss your requirements.

Crans-Montana not only has the benefit of clear air and stunning location, as the home of large international sporting events,it has significant capacity in respect of accommodation and venues. Combining its deep commitment to skiing with its organizational capacity, SMS administers and runs the annual Trophee du Mont-Lachaux – the oldest ski race in Switzerland.
