Dive back into 1897 and relive the legend of Élias Vardet, a guide who disappeared in search of a forgotten summit. As a team, decipher the riddles, overcome the challenges of the mountain and prove that you are worthy of reaching the summit before the other nations...
Discover The Impossible Expedition and relive the great challenges of mountaineering with your team.
The winter of 1897. A legendary guide, Élias Vardet, embarked on a perilous ascent of the Alps, in search of a secret passage to an uncharted summit. But he and his team disappeared without a trace... Only one rumour remains: Élias discovered a forgotten route, but the mountains, jealous of their secret, kept it to themselves.
Today, an ancient notebook has resurfaced, scribbled with enigmatic notes, incomplete maps and hidden clues. Your mission: to be the first nation to decipher the lost path of Élias Vardet, to master essential mountain techniques: orientation, map reading, knots, strategy in the face of the elements... to reach the summit before the others!
But be warned, the mountains will put your spirit and your cohesion to the test: each challenge, inspired by real mountain conditions, will plunge you into the world of past and present mountaineers, so that each participant can use his or her skills of analysis, orientation and teamwork!
Who will manage to solve the riddles of Élias Vardet, and write his name in the legend?

The course of your indoor team-building activity
When you arrive in the room set aside for your activity, your activity leaders will welcome you. After getting to know them, they will explain the challenge that awaits you, with a brief presentation of the events. They will then draw up the teams. Teams are selected at random, or according to the instructions you give us before the event. In fact, you may well want some of your colleagues to be together if they don't see much of each other the rest of the time, as bonding is the basis of all team-building.
The colleagues get together, divide up the roles between members of the ‘chosen mountaineering nation’, and set off on an initial test dictated by the main leader. After a detailed explanation of the test or challenge, the host notes the progress of each team, then sends them on to the next challenge. Over more than two hours of team-building, you'll go from challenge to challenge, trying to solve the final enigma....
At the end of the activity, all your colleagues get together and the guides tally up the points. The winning nation will be awarded the trophy, as well as the Savoyard Basket, which you can share (or not!) back at your company.
Reviews
I recently asked 1786 to organize a Team Building activity in Chamonix. We spent a morning with an Olympiad, and all the participants were completely satisfied. Competition, solidarity and laughter were the order of the day. What's more, our two referees were impeccable throughout the event. Many thanks for your professionalism and for meeting my expectations perfectly! I recommend you without hesitation.
Everything went really well this morning with the friendly and pleasant guide, who was perfect in every way: he mastered his subject perfectly, both in the animation and in managing the timing of the activity, and with the sun shining, it was a bonus! I've had nothing but positive feedback: I can confirm that all our colleagues enjoyed the team-building activity. Thank you 1000 times over for your availability and diligence. I'll be recommending you to my friends and colleagues!
For me, it was the 1st time I'd used an electric bike, and I found it fabulous, especially in this idyllic setting around Lake Annecy. The 2 guides were on time and charming, we all enjoyed this relaxing moment, some were apprehensive about the heat but in fact, everyone really enjoyed it. All that's left is to come back. Thanks again Flora for your professionalism and kindness, maybe see you soon.
"Everything went really well. We had a great time. Very nice atmosphere and the animation/the animator super! We had a good laugh, sang and danced!"
Teambuilding wine and cheese tasting in Savoie, January 2024. The sommelier was perfect. The products were enjoyed. A big thank you, it was a success for all the participants.
Very nice experience! A beautiful hike, although a bit short considering the bus travel time to reach the Plateau du Revard. The team enjoyed not only the hike but also the sweet and savory snack on the terrace of the mountain restaurant facing Mont Blanc.
