The 5 reasons to come to Savoie and Haute-Savoie for your corporate event!

The Savoie and Haute-Savoie regions offer exceptional advantages for planning a professional event. From seasonal accessibility to the natural setting, as well as accommodation and activity options, here are the top five reasons to organize your next corporate event in Savoie!

The Alpine region is conveniently located near the major international airports of Lyon-Saint-Exupéry and Geneva, allowing companies with offices in France, Europe, or worldwide to easily meet in a single destination. From Lyon or Geneva, you can then choose to stay in Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy, or Chamonix, all of which are only 1.5 to 2 hours away by car and offer an excellent range of accommodations, activities, and dining options, regardless of the group size, in an idyllic natural setting! In winter, depending on the city of departure, it is even possible to arrive at Chambéry Savoie Mont-Blanc Airport.

For French companies looking to get away from their offices for a day or several days, the Alps are also well-served by the major train stations of Chambéry, Annecy, Geneva, Grenoble, and Bellegarde. For more local companies based in Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère, and the broader Rhône-Alpes region, we work in partnership with coach operators and can handle all your transportation planning and management.

At 1786, we offer private transfer services to pick up your teams at the train station or airport and take them to the corporate event venue. In other words, we truly cover the entire organization of your event from A to Z!

The Alps remain one of the few destinations that are enjoyable year-round!

For a winter corporate event in Savoie, celebrate the holiday season in a cozy setting with an exceptional evening event: chalet, castle, wine cellar, mountain restaurant… the authentic Alpine charm will be there no matter what you choose! For a snowy team-building experience, the resorts of Méribel, Courchevel, Megève, Chamonix, or La Clusaz welcome you for top-notch cohesion challenges. Additionally, the 1786 team has designed original activities to immerse you in the mountain atmosphere. Mission Ascension, Pioneers of the Peaks, or Savoie ou Pas, after all this, you will be true Savoyards, and you will have created memorable memories with your colleagues!

With the arrival of summer, before your colleagues head off on vacation, enjoy sunny days with team-building activities or company evenings by the water. Annecy and Aix-les-Bains are the most suitable places to combine fun challenges, sports and water experiences, and dining with a view! Want to gain some altitude and enjoy the coolness of the mountains? Chamonix and Megève also offer great surprises, in terms of both activities and nightlife, depending on your corporate event expectations. Hiking, mountain biking, Aiguille du Midi, Mer de Glace, or team scavenger hunts can all punctuate your professional stay!

In spring and autumn, Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy, and Chamonix welcome you under the best conditions for indoor or outdoor team-building activities, incentive trips discovering local gastronomy, or company parties and anniversaries.

Whether you are planning an event for 20, 50, 100, 150, or 200 people, or even an executive committee meeting for 20 or fewer leaders, Alpine cities like Annecy and Chamonix, and resorts such as Méribel and Megève, provide a wide range of hotels and chalets for your stay.
