Step Into the Wild: Tailored Hiking & Mountain Tours
Imagine your team hiking through pristine alpine meadows, reaching panoramic viewpoints, or even visiting the historic King’s House on Schachen. Schloss Elmau’s expert guides curate every step—distance, difficulty, even mountain refreshment stops. Tours are fully customisable and scalable for groups of any size and ability.
Target Practice: Archery & 3D Big Game Safari
Under the expert eye of eight-time German champion Christian Kuffer, your team can try their hand at precision archery, complete with Olympic-level technique tips. The 3D “big game safari” adds a twist—moving targets, wild terrain, and all the competitive fun of a mini tournament. For extra flair, the trap machine launches discs into the air. Think clay pigeon shooting, but with a bow.
Water Works: Canyoning & Rafting
Ideal for adrenaline-seekers, group canyoning at the Silvenstein Reservoir includes abseiling waterfalls and leaping into wild waterholes—all under the safe guidance of professional instructors. Alternatively, raft the raging rapids of the Partnach Gorge or Höllental Gorge with up to 60 people in one thrilling flotilla.
