What's the best way to enhance the community feeling in a company? Through incentives, of course. Even in the shorter days of winter, there are lots of team activities you can do in Munich. Anything from a royal ambience while playing Bavarian curling to a visit to the Tollwood Winter Festival – there's always plenty going on in Munich. Seven exceptional winter incentives for groups large and small are outlined below.
Competing in curling
In the mood for a competition? Every year, the Royal Deer Garden turns into a hotspot for Bavarian curling. In-house tournaments can be staged here to determine who’s the office curling queen or king.
After a few rounds of that, the team won’t be hungry for victory any more, but certainly for some food. No problem at the Royal Deer Garden inn – the perfect place for dining together after the sport. For large groups it’s advisable to book a room in advance.

On your marks, get set, skate!
Crack your personal best for the fastest lap, dance backwards through the rows, or just enjoy a relaxed skate along the railings – it's all possible at Munich East Ice and Sports Center. This Winter Olympics sport can also be enjoyed in Munich and it’ll inspire skaters of all ages.
If anyone hasn’t got their own skates, they can just hire them out on site. The insider tip for this incentive – skate in the evening when the floodlights are on.

Celebrate like kings and queens
Your annual Christmas party is coming up again and your office has gotten too small for big parties. Anyone familiar with this problem should consider celebrating at Nymphenburg Castle. Because you can party there like kings and queens – in the heart of Munich.
The all-inclusive package from the agency Hirschfeld and Heide offers you a royal Christmas party featuring an event foyer, a grandiose hall and an exclusive three-course Christmas buffet with special Christmas decorations. And if you like, you can also book a DJ or a band.

Beer + fondue = beer fondue?
What could be better in winter than fondue? Especially on really cold days, when the roofs and streets are covered with snow and everything is white, fondue is simply the best winter food. And that's what Gärtnerplatz Alm in Munich’s Glockenbachviertel offers you – with very special creative ideas. With five types of fondue on offer, everyone will find something to delight their palate. The classic Alpine cheese fondue, a fondue italiano or an extravagant truffle fondue – there’s a broad choice. But probably the most fascinating fondue is the Munich dark beer fondue with Augustiner dark beer, Appenzeller cheese, Tegernsee mountain cheese and fresh parsley making an irresistible mixture.

Unforgettable entertainment
The Tollwood Festival takes place in Munich twice a year – at the Olympic Park in summer and Theresienwiese in winter. These festivals are not only interesting for locals and tourists, but also for smaller companies or teams looking to experience some culture.
Every winter, Tollwood offers variety shows or cabarets that for corporate celebrations, can be combined with dinner. An aperitif before the show and a bio menu to match the program is what MICE events are offered. Besides, there’s always the opportunity to stroll through the festival grounds and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere of bright colors and lights, art installations and 270 creatively designed booths.

Typically Bavarian
Want to familiarize your colleagues or business partners with Alpine coziness? If so, the Hirschalm in Unterschleißheim is the place to go. This Infinity Hotel offers the ambience of a typical hut in the Alpine foothills. The term "hut" is actually a bit deceptive because this event location can accommodate up to 190 people.
You can drop by for a morning drink or book an evening hut party – everything is possible in the Almhütte. The Infinity Hotel & Conference Resort Munich will not only arrange a tailor-made event in special surroundings, but also has unique group offerings like the "Bavarian Olympics", a hands-on gingerbread bakery or a Bavarian curling rink.
