Image: visualimpact.ch, Thomas UlrichAutumn in the Bernese Oberland, clear blue sky, 7 o'clock in the morning and the thermometer shows below zero degrees. Professional mountaineer Stephan Siegrist is training for his next expedition, and this on what is probably one of the world's most fascinating and at the same time most dangerous mountains - the Eiger North Face. His gaze goes into the distance and he enjoys the unique view of the congress, seminar and vacation destination Interlaken with the region Thun-Thunersee lying at his feet.Apart from the impressive nature, the destination has much more to offer. The convenient location in the heart of Europe as well as a large number of hotels of all categories with more than 3,500 beds make it possible to hold events for up to 1,500 people. In addition, the region impresses with a large number of versatile locations - from historic to modern, there is something for every taste.

Thun is located at the lower end of Lake Thun and offers attractive seminar hotels with good infrastructure. There is also no shortage of event locations with larger capacities, for example the Stockhorn Arena - the multifunctional football stadium of FC Thun, the Culture and Congress Center and the Thun Expo.

There are many seminar hotels and event locations in Thun.Strategies and planning - necessary everywhereStephan Siegrist has now reached 3700 meters above sea level. His goal, the mountain peak, is always in his sights and he pursues it with passion and great commitment. But clever strategy and planning are also necessary to exploit the potential. Exactly this can be perfectly transferred to the corporate world: it is necessary to develop and implement visions, to understand the processes in team building and also to realistically assess one's own abilities.Stephan Siegrist packs these messages into an exciting presentation, in which he not only wants to motivate employees, but also gives impulses into the leadership culture of a company based on his experiences. Siegrist never stylizes himself as a hero, but reports with a lot of humor, self-irony and modesty about his borderline trips far away from civilization.

The roundel as the center of the eastern part of the Kursaal, impresses with an atmosphere of earlier eras.Such a presentation, for example, in combination with an event in the oldest and possibly most beautiful congress center in Switzerland - the Congress Centre Kursaal Interlaken, offers a great opportunity for vision, strengthened motivation and fresh ideas. The modern architecture of the auditorium offers the perfect contrast to its historic halls. The total 5'000 m2 event space with a capacity of over 1'500 people is suitable for any type of event. In addition, the compactness of Interlaken allows participants to walk from the hotel to the Congress Centre Kursaal.Motivation kickStarting the new year with the best intentions and new plans - that is also the goal of many companies. With kickoff and motivational meetings, employees are empowered with energy and sales conviction. The famous Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau triumvirate, which is within easy reach, symbolically provides the perfect backdrop for any type of event in which rock-solid arguments and conviction set in stone are needed.Special offerAs a special offer, the Congress Centre Kursaal Interlaken offers a free lecture by alpinist Stephan Siegrist for all kick-off events that take place in the congress center from January to March. Momentum is thus brought into the event, corporate goals conveyed - and all this in harmony with nature.www.congress-interlaken.ch
