Description

Realiza un evento de empresa exclusivo mediante el programa que tenemos para ti, en plena Sierra de Madrid. Está pensado especialmente para grupos de altos cargos. Las actividades se realizan en la zona de Zarzalejo, junto a San Lorenzo de El Escorial, el lugar ideal, tanto por sus características como por su situación geográfica. Os vamos a separar en diferentes equipos y vais a hacer una pequeña competición en la que, subidos en bicicletas eléctricas, tendréis que recorrer la zona para encontrar las diferentes balizas que os dejemos señaladas en el mapa. ¡Tendréis que llegar a más balizas que los rivales antes de que se acabe el tiempo! Además tendréis que superar diferentes pruebas que os explicaremos antes de comenzar, por lo que podréis decidir qué miembro del grupo es el más indicado para cada una. Cada equipo irá con un monitor que actuará como juez pero también os dará asistencia mecánica con las e-bikes, si la necesitáis. El recorrido previsto en esta aventura no entraña mucha dificultad, por lo que no es necesario un gran estado de forma para poder afrontarla. Lógicamente, se requiere saber montar en bicicleta. Tras el concurso de orientación nos desplazaremos a un restaurante para que podáis comer un menú fantástico y así os recuperéis al 100% de la actividad física. Aquí dejaréis de ser equipos rivales para ser un único grupo. Solo quedará anunciar quién ha sido el ganador y darle su merecido premio. Se trata de un descuento para una excursión en BTT por la sierra en fin de semana. ¡El gran día que tus trabajadores necesitan!
