How the activity works

1

Welcome and briefing by the guide

We welcome participants to a beautiful snowy setting and introduce the challenge of the day. Our mountain guide shares expert advice and explains the essential techniques for building a proper igloo. How do you assemble snow blocks? How can you create a sturdy shelter? Our future snow architects discover the secrets of igloo construction before getting started!

Draw and team preparation

Let chance decide! We randomly assign participants to teams, mixing skills and personalities. Once the groups are formed, each team receives its equipment: snow shovels, buckets, trowels and a construction plan. It's time to divide responsibilities, imagine the perfect igloo and agree on a strategy. Who will be the architect, the site manager or the snow-shovelling champion? Everyone has a role to play!

Building igloos

The construction challenge officially begins! Each team gets to work building its igloo, one snow block at a time. Communication, organisation and cooperation will be essential to create a shelter that's both sturdy and original. Our mountain guide supports participants and provides advice throughout the process. Between unexpected difficulties, clever ideas and plenty of laughter, teamwork really comes into its own!

Inspection of the igloos and prize-giving

It's time for the big reveal! Our judges inspect the igloos using four criteria: appearance (because style matters, even in the snow!), originality, strength and, most importantly… whether the entire team can fit inside!
