Berger Events GmbH

What Berger Events GmbH does

Berger Events GmbH is a privately held Swiss event organizer and group-travel intermediary based in Kirchlindach near Bern, Switzerland, founded in 1988 by Felix Berger. The company curates and delivers packaged experiential events — including guided mofa (Töffli) tours, electric scooter tours, farm-based team games (Bauernhof/Farmer/Swissness Games), Lego-based team challenges, torchlight hikes, nostalgic train charters on the Emmental railway, drum workshops, casino nights, city treasure hunts, and wine/cultural tours — across the Jura, Seeland, Emmental, and Berner Oberland regions of Switzerland, with extension into Appenzellerland.

The operating model is asset-light and partnership-driven: Berger Events owns no venues or fleet and instead assembles experiences from a network of at least 25 named partners (regional tourism boards, farm venues, hotels, breweries, transport operators, museums). Commercial infrastructure is a standard Odoo-based e-commerce shop at shop.berger-events.ch offering per-event unit pricing (typically CHF 360–2,800 flat-rate or CHF 30–145 per person) plus a quote-request funnel for customized corporate bookings. Marketing relies on the company website, a low-frequency newsletter, and organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube). There is no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, app, or API surface.

The business serves roughly 3,000 participants annually across four primary segments — corporate teamevents/outings (primary), associations and clubs, families/small groups, and Polterausflüge/bachelor parties — via direct-to-consumer e-commerce plus direct enterprise sales. Berger Events operates as part of the Erlebnismacher AG group, which manages multiple sister tourism/experience brands under shared administration. Following the unexpected death of founder Felix Berger in October 2024, Christine Berger-Romang is the listed authorized representative; the legal entity is registered as Berger Aktiv Reisen GmbH (CHE-106.300.694) in the Canton of Bern commercial register.
