5 tips for a successful conference in the mountains

In our opinion, a conference in the Swedish mountains is the best way to combine business with pleasure. So we thought we'd share our top tips for a successful conference in the mountains!

Why you should organise a mountain conference

There are many good reasons why you should make this year's conference different. To get away from the city centre or the archipelago to enjoy the best that Swedish nature has to offer - the mountains. On the other hand, it is a different destination for most people, to say the least. Perhaps you have employees who have never experienced a real snow-filled winter? On the other hand, it is good for everyday health, getting out into nature and breathing fresh air does something to the mood.

Other reasons to visit the mountains are, of course, the many unique activities, which cannot be done anywhere else. The fact that this captivating landscape is closer than you think is another reason to book your next conference in the mountains!

How to make your conference in the mountains a success

Now that you have a better understanding of why you should organise a mountain conference, let's talk about how to make it a success:

1. make sure you find a suitable meeting or conference room

In the first instance, you should of course focus on the most essential thing - finding a suitable meeting or conference room. A room that can accommodate enough people and is equipped with the technology you need. At Stöten in Sälen you will therefore find eight conference rooms of varying sizes. Our rooms are suitable for both small and large groups and can accommodate up to 300 people. They are also equipped with the latest technology and of course we offer Wi-Fi without complicated logins.

In addition to our conference rooms, it is possible to hold meetings in our larger cottages, if you have chosen to stay in one. Of course, we make sure to fix with projector, screen and everything else needed for a successful implementation! Read more about our conference facilities here.

We offer accommodation for everyone, from luxury to the slightly simpler

2. ensure that you can get the level of service you want

During a conference, you usually have enough on your plate. The last thing many people want is to have to think about organising refreshments, food and the like. So make sure you check that you can get the service you want.

For us at Stöten, it is of utmost importance that you have a pleasant stay. All you need to focus on is having fun, improving cohesion and organising a seamless conference. Our competent and service-oriented staff will make sure that you can do just that!

3. make sure you find suitable accommodation

Simple or luxurious? Cottage or hotel? The accommodation options in the Swedish mountains are many and it is important that you find an accommodation that suits your taste. We therefore offer something for everyone, from luxury to the slightly simpler. With us, you can choose to stay in both cottages and hotels. Synonymous with all of our accommodation is that they are close to most things - ski slopes, food and entertainment, conference facilities and everything else there is to do with us at Stöten!

4. Find activities that suit the whole group

As mentioned earlier, we believe that a conference in the mountains is the best way to combine business with pleasure. There is a large and varied range of activities here and it is therefore important that you find something that suits the whole group. One tip is to think about what the purpose of the activity or activities is. Is it a reward for good work, is it to get to know each other better, is it a tradition, or is it to bond as a group?

With us, you can choose from a wide range of activities and experiences. Whether you want them to be physical, competitive, clever, creative or just give your employees a unique mountain experience. See our full range of conference activities here.

5. Make sure there is time for good food and relaxation

Keeping busy and engaging in exciting activities from morning to night takes its toll. It can therefore be good to have good food available in a relaxing environment. This in turn can lead to even better group cohesion.

With us, you can be sure that there are plenty of places to eat and have fun. We offer a large and varied selection of restaurants with food from all corners of the world. In addition, you will also find after ski, bars and nightclubs. See where to eat and have fun during your stay at Stöten here.
