ABOUT THE EVENT
This is our annual European ski event that aims to assemble a small, elite group of global business executives with one common goal: to learn from one another’s personal and professional experiences against the inspiring backdrop of the Matterhorn and the Swiss Alps. Think fantastic people and networking in a fun and memorable environment – combined with the opportunity to partake in some of the best skiing and boarding that Europe has to offer.
LODGING
Our base for the weekend will be The Schweizerhof, a luxury boutique hotel located in the heart of Zermatt complete with spa, multiple gourmet restaurants and its own private in-house ski rental service with heated ski lockers for each guest.
Zermatt is a bucket list location for snow sports fans from around the world, situated in the Swiss Alps on the Italian border, underneath the iconic Matterhorn.
The village is car-free, and a quintessential Swiss mountain paradise, packed with bars, luxury stores, and of course incredible restaurants.
Boasting 322km of runs, and plenty of off-piste opportunities, the Zermatt-Matterhorn ski area is one of the highest in Europe, and you can even take a trip over the border to Italy and check out the powder in Breuil-Cervinia.
FAQ
If you have any other questions or enquiries related to the event, please email lujones@transperfect.com
What is the cost?
For invited guests, TransPerfect covers round-trip coach airfare, lodging, airport transfers in Zermatt and all organised activities and meals, including lift tickets and gear rentals (should you choose to rent). You are responsible for getting yourself to and from your home airport and all on-site incidentals. That’s it!
How do I get there?
International guests will fly to Zurich airport and then take a train to the car free village of Zermatt. Detailed instructions will be given and the journey is quicker than a car transfer! For those who are local there is also an option to drive.
What’s the agenda?
There is no structured agenda; however, we will arrange for several focused roundtable discussions on topics in varying areas. What you get out of this event is directly proportional to what you put in. The people we invite, both on the client side and on TransPerfect’s side, all have very valuable information to share, and over the course of our several days together, we hope that you’ll seek out as many others as you can.
Is this just a social event?
No, it’s a business event. Just because there isn’t a formalised all-day agenda of sessions doesn’t mean that the primary purpose of this event isn’t learning. We expect all in attendance to come prepared to share their knowledge and learn from other client attendees and TransPerfect team members, be that at the roundtable discussions, on the ski lifts or over meals/drinks.
Can I bring my spouse/significant other/a guest?
No, sorry. As an immersive business networking event, our primary goal is to ensure as much interaction and relationship-building among the group as possible. While we’re confident that your spouse (or other guest) is a lovely person, we’d strongly prefer that you attend this event on your own.
What is the dress code?
As with most resort towns, ski gear is completely acceptable almost anywhere – for non-mountain activities, feel free to pack casual attire such as denim, sweaters, etc. Be sure to pack layers!
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No. You certainly can bring your own gear, but if you need rentals, all you need to do is let us know in advance.
What is your policy regarding COVID-19?
We will review global and local COVID-19 guidelines nearer to the trip and communicate regarding those as necessary.
Come and spend a long weekend with TransPerfect and some of our friends.
We promise it will be worth your time.
