Conference trips
Active conference trips for companies and associations
An energizing meeting
When the body moves, so does the brain! Skip oxygen-poor conference rooms and lukewarm coffee and let us tailor an energizing meeting for you. Combining theory with activity in an inspiring environment awakens creativity and increases job satisfaction. We take care of all planning and logistics so you can focus on the company's goals and creating unforgettable memories together.
The benefits of an active conference trip
Think better in fresh air
It's a fact that body and mind are connected. When the legs move, so do the thoughts. An active conference is a powerful breeding ground for new ideas.
More dynamic meetings
Hiking and cycling create a flow in the group where you naturally end up next to different people. Conversations develop organically, which improves both discussions and collaboration back home.
Motivating environments
Getting to stay at a hotel, eat well and experience a new environment always feels a bit luxurious. Motivated and energized employees socialize in a new way that lays a stronger foundation for continued collaboration.
Conference room or grass field?
Sometimes you need a screen and sometimes you need oxygen. Try a Walking Workshop with us - perfect for getting ideas to flow.
Pleasant exercise that suits everyone
Not everyone is spontaneously eager to be physically active, but we promise there's a level for everyone - and that each person will feel really satisfied afterwards. Choose hiking or cycling - or both.
A sustainable conference trip
Trips where we move under our own power are inherently sustainable, and to that we add solid sustainability work including 110% climate compensation.
How does an active conference work?
This is what a lovely and efficient day can look like
Imagine waking up in the morning, full of anticipation – today it's outdoor office! The dew glistens in the grass and the breakfast buffet is set. Maybe you run a shorter conference session before gathering and getting a briefing from our guide. Then starts a Walking Workshop, our concept for conferencing in motion. Or you cycle along rural roads and save the chat until that perfect little café appears by the roadside. Lunch at a vineyard and then a couple of hours of conference at the hotel, with a pleasant buzz in your legs. Dinner and mingling for the rest of the evening. How does that sound?
Some travel suggestions
Cycling conference in Bordeaux
France
We have done this trip ourselves, and we guess you will love it. The starting point is our most popular cycling trip in the area. For the conference, we shorten it to 4 days (3 nights) and add luxury with both 4 and 5 stars and hand-picked restaurants in the evenings. Of course we stop for wine tasting at a couple of estates along the way. Two full cycling days and e-bike for those who want. Good flights from Sweden and short transfers.
Walking conference in Malta
Malta & Gozo
The Knights' island in the southern Mediterranean is a sun-safe destination even in winter, and has a fantastic range of suitable hotel facilities for small and large conferences. Between sessions we head out on lovely coastal walks with swimming in crystal clear water and explore the history in British Valletta and Arabic Mdina. Plenty of flights and short transfers.
Cotswolds with colleagues
England
The cozy factor is high in England's most rural countryside. We offer the Cotswold way both on foot and on two wheels and are happy to tailor a program that suits you perfectly. Honey-colored stone houses, blooming gardens, cozy tea houses and charming pubs – there's much to enjoy here. Good connections with Sweden.
Walking conference in Piedmont
Italy
Wine hiking sounds good, doesn't it? Gourmet hiking in Piedmont is Epic Trails' all-time bestseller. Beautiful hills, castles, wine cellars, exquisite food and Italian joie de vivre. The 4-day version is optimal and we can easily shorten the hikes to give time for other things half the day. Thanks to good contacts in the area, we can combine hiking and cycling on the same trip. Fly directly to Milan with a couple of hours' transfer.

Questions and answers about conference trips
No, as long as everyone is healthy and doesn't have serious joint problems or special medical conditions. Then a tour with an easy level is very similar to a bike ride or long walk at home. We help you choose the right level for the trip in advance and adapt the pace to the participants.
