Organising a team retreat by Lake Geneva

Par Ô Bercail

Évian-les-Bains, the ideal setting for your professional retreats. Practical advice for organising a successful team event by the lake.

A successful team retreat rests on three pillars: an inspiring venue, smooth logistics, and a programme that balances work and relaxation. Évian-les-Bains ticks all of these boxes — and Ô Bercail can be its anchor point.

Why Évian for your next team retreat?

A setting that shifts mindsets. Taking teams out of their usual environment fosters creativity and cohesion. Lake Geneva, the surrounding mountains and Évian's unhurried atmosphere create the right conditions for genuine exchanges and important decisions.

Accessible from across the region. Évian is 1h30 from Lyon, 40 min from Geneva, and 1 hour from Annecy. It is also linked to Lausanne by boat (35 min), making it a practical meeting point for Franco-Swiss teams.

Quality hotels and dining. From boutique hotels to lakeside restaurants, Évian knows how to host. The Royal, numerous lakefront restaurants and event venues allow you to build a tailored programme.

Ô Bercail's role in your retreat

For teams of up to 20 people, Ô Bercail offers full privatisation of the space. This gives you access to:

  • The open space (9 desks) for working sessions in sub-groups
  • The independent meeting room (6 people, HDMI screen, whiteboard)
  • The kitchen and coffee area for breaks
  • A cosy, professional atmosphere — far from the sterility of standard conference rooms

Catering can be arranged on request, for a working lunch or a closing drinks reception.
