Six exceptional venues in Zurich and its surrounds offer unforgettable corporate group experiences, as spotlighted during the Asia Trophy 2025
1. Lindt Home of Chocolate
Aside from a Chocolate Museum that offers tours that last around 1.5 hours, this attraction features two main event spaces: Auditorium (Ground Floor) and Lounge (Third Floor), where each can hold up to 100 people.
For a memorable incentive activity, consider the Chocolate Figures & Pralines course. Held in the Chocolateria (Third Floor), this hands-on workshop can accommodate 60 people every 75 minutes. Participants will get to pour chocolate into a bear mould, and decorate custom pralines with nuts and dried fruit.
2. Mount Titlis
Located about 1.5 hours from Zurich, Mount Titlis is able to deliver unparalleled experiences for corporate groups. Delegates can engage in winter teambuilding challenges, race each other on snowtubes, ride on electric snowmobiles at SnowXpark on Trübsee, or traverse the suspended Titlis Cliff Walk – Europe’s highest suspension bridge.
Opening end May 2026 is the Titlis Tower, a cross-shaped steel landmark at 3,000 metres above sea level. When fully open, the Tower will feature a viewing platform, an exhibition/event space, as well as a restaurant and lounge offering casual fine dining for 120 pax.
3. Christmas Markets
Zurich Tourism provides event planners with the exclusive opportunity to arrange private bookings for select Christmas Markets, before the market’s official opening hours during the winter season. For example, the restaurant within the popular Christmas Village at Sechseläutenplatz (in front of the Opera House) can seat a maximum of 500 guests for a private brunch event, while also accommodating smaller groups of 20 or more during its standard operating times.
4. The “Churchill” Red Arrow
This historic two-carriage mobile venue can be privatised for up to 96 people, seated at comfortable tables of four. The train is also equipped with a built-in kitchen and bar, allowing for culinary experiences – from aperitifs to full-course meals – to be provided throughout the ride that typically comes with amazing landscape views. Journeys normally start from Zurich, though it is possible to enquire about other starting points, such as Lausanne.
5. Uto Kulm
This 54-key property perched atop Zurich’s Uetliberg mountain offers comprehensive facilities for corporate groups, including several restaurants, numerous meeting spaces, and a viewing tower. A standout venue is the Winter Garden, a light-flooded glass pavilion that accommodates up to 100 guests while offering panoramic views of Zurich and its lake.
Additionally, the car-free hotel grounds are ideal for various teambuilding activities, ranging from wooden cart-building workshops and Farmer’s Olympics to seasonal curling and art sessions.
6. Bachlihof Jona
A counterpoint to more formal spaces, this adventure farm in Rapperswil-Jona, just outside Zurich, specialises in in experiential events built around the seasons. There are two farm buildings: Schopf can hold up to 150 theatre-style, while Heugade can hold up to 200 theatre-style.
Groups can also engage in rustic, hands-on teambuilding activities such as launching a rubber chicken with a catapult accurately into a frying pan, throwing horseshoes at a target, or test their dexterity during a challenge where a golf ball must be titled and shifted on a wooden board to drop through the hole that offers the most points.
