Montevia

What Montevia does

Montevia GmbH is a Bavarian outdoor events and teambuilding company, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Lenggries, Germany, with a secondary branch in Kochel am See. The company delivers guided water-based activities (whitewater rafting, kayaking, canyoning, stand-up paddleboarding), winter experiences (sledding using its proprietary BergaufRODEL safety sled system, biathlon on a purpose-built facility, and mobile Eisstock ice stock lanes), corporate teambuilding programs, and CSR event packages in partnership with several foundations. Its operations are built around direct physical access to the Isar river and the Brauneck mountain, supported by an in-house team of licensed guides and event managers.

The company's core technical assets are its purpose-built biathlon range, a mobile Eisstock track available for client-site delivery, and the in-house developed BergaufRODEL sled, which underpins its guided sledding offerings. The technology footprint is otherwise light — booking flows for public tours run through the third-party WS SPORTS shop platform from Waldhart Software, with no proprietary software or AI components disclosed.

Montevia monetizes through per-person pricing on scheduled public tours (typically €34–€99 per participant), custom quotations for corporate events with larger group packages, and seasonal/event-based rental of its Eisstock equipment. Its customer base spans multinational corporates (including BMW, McKinsey, Deutsche Bank, Allianz, and Porsche) for teambuilding, private individuals and tourists for public tours, and school/youth groups. The business model is seasonal, capacity-constrained by licensed guide availability, and dependent on alpine weather windows.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• GetYourGuide: Global marketplace for tours, attractions and experiences including water-based activities in Germany. Comparable product category (guided outdoor experiences) with very different GTM — distribution-led vs. Montevia's sales-led corporate model.
• TUI Musement: Global tours, activities and experiences marketplace offering rafting, kayaking and outdoor experiences across Europe. An aggregator/distribution platform that contrasts with Montevia's owned-delivery model but intersects in the water-based leisure segment.
• mydays: Major German experience-gift marketplace with rafting, canyoning and adventure offerings. Similar national reach but distributes third-party events rather than self-delivering, contrasting Montevia's 95% self-delivery model.
• Jochen Schweizer Erlebnis GmbH: Germany's largest experience and adventure voucher platform, offering water sports, outdoor events and group activities nationwide. A much larger incumbent with broad portfolio, so not a direct competitor for Montevia's bespoke B2B offering but overlapping at the B2C voucher / rafting end.
• brandmate Eventagentur: brandmate is a Munich-based corporate event agency offering teambuilding, incentive trips and CSR events across Germany. Comparable B2B target market and event mix but operates as a full-service agency rather than a vertically integrated outdoor operator.

Direct peers

• Meventi: Meventi is a Munich-area provider of corporate outdoor events, teambuilding, rafting, canyoning and team challenges across Bavaria. Most directly comparable to Montevia in geography (Alpine foothills) and product mix (corporate teambuilding + water sports).
• Teamgeist Event GmbH: Teamgeist organizes outdoor team events and incentive programs across Southern Germany (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg). Like Montevia it combines nature-based activities, creative workshops and CSR-style events for corporate B2B buyers.
• ManyHills GmbH: ManyHills provides outdoor team events and adventure-based learning programs across multiple European destinations. Comparable corporate teambuilding focus and experiential learning orientation to Montevia.

Others

• Stiftung Schneekristalle (CSR partner / Snow Crystals Foundation): Non-profit foundation that Montevia already works with for CSR charity rafting events. Included as an ecosystem/CSR counterpart rather than a competitor; relevant to how Montevia packages sustainability-flavoured teambuilding.

Regional players

• Adventure Bavaria / Erlebnistage Bayern: Regional Bavarian outdoor and adventure experience providers offering rafting, canyoning and team events. Geographically overlapping with Montevia and competing for the same Munich-area corporate and leisure customer base.
