Few locations provide a better setting for canoeing than Refsvatnet, where the mountains are mirrored in the still surface just below Fjellstua. Here, you and your colleagues paddle at your own pace, without currents, waves, or disturbances. Oars must be synchronised to move forward, and good conversations flow naturally as you glide across the water. This is precisely why canoeing works well as a team-building activity.
Many businesses opt for canoeing on company trips because the activity requires little prior knowledge but offers a lot in return. You and your colleagues can participate from the very first paddle stroke, regardless of fitness level or experience, and everyone contributes to propelling the canoe forward. This lowers the barrier to entry and fosters a strong sense of unity.
Canoeing as a team-building activity is about more than just paddling. You have to cooperate, agree on a direction, and find a common rhythm to get to where you're going. It's the same interaction that creates good results at work – just in calmer surroundings, embraced by nature.
A canoe trip creates natural situations where you have to cooperate. Who steers, who keeps the pace up, and how do you find the best way forward? As you paddle across Refsvatnet, trust grows through small choices, good communication, and excellent teamwork, allowing you to get to know each other in a completely new arena.
Therefore, canoeing as a team-building activity is more than just a pleasant experience. Canoeing on the company trip gives you a shared sense of accomplishment and memories you'll take back to the workplace, long after the canoes are brought ashore.
If you are planning to rent canoes for your company event at Preikestolen, we are happy to help put together a day that suits your group. Our recommendation is to combine canoeing with a good lunch at Fjellstua, a visit to the floating sauna, or a mountain hike afterwards. The activity is easy to arrange, suitable for most people, and will give you a shared experience you will remember for a long time. Get in touch, and we'll sort out the rest.
