Team Building

Team Building is designed to encourage workers and colleagues to be more dependent and reliant on each other in order to increase performance in the work place.  There are many ways to build up this trust from simple bonding exercises to multi day team building holidays. 
Slovenia is an ideal destination which has already a well developed infrastucture, and natural resources for the perfect team building retreats.
The travel puzzle has years of experience in organising such team building exercises and these can range simply from one or two activities over the period of the annual seminar or conference, to a specially designed week solely for the purpose of increasing confidence and performance in the work place.
The activities involved can be tailored to each companys' needs and can range from the simple adrenalin park and zip lines, to the more demanding sailing weekends which include cycling and hiking. Other activities may include rafting, kayaking, orienteering, underwater diving etc.  The beauty of choosing Slovenia for your team building holiday or events, is that it is easily accessible from the UK and main land Europe, the events can be held at any time of year suitable for you and that the country is stunningly beautiful too.  If the travel puzzle does not offer what you are looking for then one of our many partners certainly will so don't hesitate to contact the travel puzzle for advice.

weather in Slovenia

Well for all of you already in Slovenia you have probably realised that the weather is not what it should be. The good news is that it should be getting better soon.  The plus side of this, as there always has to be a positive, is that the water levels are high in the rivers.  That means for adrenalin junkies, the white water kayakers and rafters,  the conditions are ideal for maximum thrills. The canyoning is at its best and it's still possible to find quieter secions of the river for tubing and canoeing.  The lake sit on top kayaking is an alternative to those who maybe don't have the experience for white water activities. Remember though, book with a reputable company and don't attempt the activities alone.  The travel puzzle have years of experience in this area so ask them for their advice on which agency to use.
The Soca river in Bovec, which recently hosted the world kayaking championships, is in full flow. The activity holidays have started and the hotels and campsites around the Soca Valley are filling up quickly.
