This was reason for a party, and they wanted to celebrate it with the whole company.<\/p>\n<p>Our brief was to find a sporty destination for skiing and snowboarding, but above all, one where team spirit could be further brought to life. We enthusiastically set about finding a suitable location for a group of 150 people. An extra challenge was that about 45 people had to be flown in from all parts of the world!<\/p>\n<p>After mapping out their wishes, we quickly knew which destination would be a brilliant fit for this trip. We found a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/incentive-reizen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Group trip<\/a> perfectly suited for Bad Gastein, and our client was also thrilled!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Flying in around 45 people from all over the world<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On Wednesday, all participants from other countries were flown in by us and we subsequently arranged a hotel for them in the Netherlands. Did you know that on such trips, participants can easily sign up via our unique <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/en\/digital-event-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Event Manager<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>From the head office to Schiphol<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The group trip to Bad Gastein started the following morning at the head office. That is where the kick-off for all employees took place. We at goMICE made sure that there were 3 coaches ready and waiting. They took us to Schiphol. The atmosphere was already great!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6610\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-1.jpg\" alt=\"Groepsreis naar Bad Gastein - ga met goMICE!\" width=\"849\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-1.jpg 849w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-1-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The journey went without a hitch.

Definitely worth a visit sometime!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hitler's Eagle's Nest, a piece of history<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On the way we also stopped at Berchtesgaden, which is unknown to many. Up on the mountain near Berchtesgaden you can [see\/visit] the so-called <em>Eagles Nest<\/em> to visit Hitler's former residence. Here, Hitler used to have a great view of both Austria and Germany, and he organised many meetings here with his SS and Gestapo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6608\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-3.jpg\" alt=\"Groepsreis naar Bad Gastein - ga met goMICE!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Precisely because we had many international guests on this excursion, this stop was a very interesting and special moment for them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A group trip to Bad Gastein \u2013 Time for the apr\u00e8s-ski!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At the end of the day, we had organised drinks in the nearby apr\u00e8s-ski bar, the Silver Bullet, and the party could begin! For dinner, we had hired an alpine hut, which could only be reached via a single-chair ski lift.<\/p>\n<p>Once we got to the top, it was really cosy in the warm cabin. There was an open fire going and we had a lovely time having fondue together.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A hilarious end to the evening<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before long the atmosphere was lively again and the tall tales started coming out. The extra fun thing about this hut is that at the end you can go tobogganing down, almost right to the door of the hotel. This fun end to the evening was hilarious! A total of 150 screaming and shouting sledges hurtling down the mountain, without any accidents of course!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Organising an igloo building competition during the group trip to Bad Gastein<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The next morning (people were still half asleep here and there), we organised an igloo-building competition. The teams were very competitive, and it turned out that one team had paid more attention in their physics lessons in the past than the other. But by the end of the session, there were a few genuine igloos standing!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6609\" src=\"http:\/\/gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-2.jpg\" alt=\"Groepsreis naar Bad Gastein - ga met goMICE!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gomice.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Groepsreis-naar-Bad-Gastein-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Around midday it was time to leave again. Tired but satisfied, everyone boarded the bus to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>We have received many wonderful and nice compliments, including from the international participants. Everyone particularly appreciated that we had built in extra activities and moments as a surprise. Such as the stop in Berchtesgaden and the toboggan run down, for example. These surprise elements make such a group trip extra special!<\/p>\n<p>This is how we at goMICE always want to exceed expectations! Ensuring everyone has a fantastic time is always our goal!
