Mid-October is the ideal time to make one more trip up into the mountains, and catch the last bit of good weather before the snow begins to fall. We hosted the EU marketing team from our partners at The North Face last week in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, in Southern Switzerland, for a team-building retreat in the Valle Levantina.
The colors were popping, and the crew of 30 hiked up to the Capanna Tremorgio, our base camp for three days. Guardians Stelio and Lucia kept us well-fed and comfortable with signature Ticinese hospitality - one of the nicest rifugios we have ever found, not to mention the private gondola for shuttling the luggage!
With a big orienteering exercise / mountain scavenger hunt, stand-up paddling on the Lago Tremorgio at 1850m, trail-running relays, slacklining, and other activities, in addition to team meetings, there was barely a moment to relax. But this event was designed to bring fresh ideas and invigorate the team for the winter season ahead, and it accomplished just that and much more.
