To plan an autumn team building day in Dilijan, choose a clear purpose, select an outdoor activity that suits your colleagues and reserve an indoor backup for the whole group. Build the rest of the day around a shared meal, comfortable breaks and a clear plan for changing weather.
At Hover Gardens, we help companies create and coordinate their team-building programme, including the schedule, venue preparation, food, drinks and entertainment. For an autumn event, agreeing both the outdoor programme and its indoor alternative early makes the day easier to organise.
Give your company team day a clear purpose
Start with what you want colleagues to get from the day. New employees may need time to meet people across departments. An established team might welcome a shared challenge, while a group finishing a demanding project may prefer a relaxed outing and a long lunch.
Ask about activity preferences, access needs and dietary requirements before choosing the programme. Offer an equally welcoming alternative for anyone who prefers a quieter experience. If the day includes a work session, keep its purpose specific and leave enough time for informal conversation.
For teams interested in a more active experience, Dilijan Adventures advertises guided buggy tours and strikeball for corporate groups. Ask about combining an experience with your Hover Gardens programme, including travel, briefings and any group rotations. Confirm the activity provider, price and booking terms in your quotation.
Check the operator’s weather rules before choosing an activity. The Dilijan Adventures FAQ states that strikeball cannot run in heavy rain or below +5°C, and that unsafe conditions may lead to rescheduling. An indoor team exercise can keep your company day going, but cancellation or rescheduling terms for the booked adventure still need to be agreed.
Reserve an indoor backup that fits the whole group
An indoor backup needs a confirmed room and a workable layout. Our** Conference Hall at Hover Gardens **is 110 square metres and accommodates up to 35 people in a U-shaped layout or 80 in theatre-style seating. The listed equipment includes a TV, flipchart and speakers.
Choose the capacity that matches your activity. Theatre seating does not provide the same working arrangement as a workshop with tables and materials. Share the exercise with the venue and confirm how many people can participate comfortably. For a larger group, agree a suitable alternative space or group arrangement before booking.
Our Fireplace Restaurant hosts up to 40 guests for smaller gatherings. Confirm the indoor dining arrangements for your full party separately from the activity room. The Music Hall and Pond Café are open-air spaces, so an outdoor reservation also needs a specific indoor weather plan.
Ask for the backup room to be held during the hours when it may be needed. Confirm any extra charge, room temperature, access arrangements and where wet coats or belongings can be placed. Prepare the indoor materials before participants arrive.
Agree when to switch to the indoor programme
Choose one company organiser to coordinate with Hover Gardens and the activity provider. Review the local forecast shortly before the event, then confirm conditions on the day before the group leaves for an outdoor activity. Follow the operator’s decision about whether its experience can proceed.
Agree how a change will be communicated to participants, the driver and the catering team. Keep a complete indoor programme ready so a decision to move inside does not leave the group waiting. If lunch or refreshments move, confirm the revised service time with the venue.
Send a short clothing brief in advance: layers, a rain jacket and footwear suited to the chosen activity. Follow any additional guidance from the operator. Schedule outdoor experiences during daylight and leave time afterwards to change shoes, wash hands and settle indoors.
Build a comfortable flow around meals and breaks
A practical company team day can begin with arrival refreshments and a short welcome, followed by the main activity. Bring everyone together for lunch, then leave room for a relaxed discussion, a second optional activity or time to talk before departure.
For an autumn programme, ask about a hot meal and warm drinks at the point when the team returns indoors. Keep the menu and serving time compatible with both weather plans. A delayed outdoor activity should not leave colleagues without a clear place to rest and eat.
If the outing forms part of a longer corporate retreat in Armenia, coordinate accommodation and transport alongside the event. Confirm hotel check-in, luggage arrangements and the return journey with the relevant providers. Allow for travel in the programme before adding another session.
Get a quotation for the complete day
Our published corporate event packages range from 5,500 to 11,000 AMD per guest, with food and beverage inclusions varying by package. Ask for a full event quotation that specifies the menu and identifies the costs of room use, the indoor backup, activities, facilitation and transport.
Before confirming, check the final participant deadline, deposit and cancellation terms. Agree which costs change if the weather requires a different programme, and who will coordinate any changes with outside providers.
Questions about autumn team building in Dilijan
What happens if it rains on our team day
Use the indoor programme and space agreed before the event. Depending on the conditions and provider’s rules, an outdoor activity may be moved, replaced or rescheduled. Confirm the financial terms as well as the programme change.
Can we include a meeting at Hover Gardens
Yes. The Conference Hall is designed for meetings, training and corporate gatherings. Discuss the session length, seating layout and equipment when arranging the rest of your team day.
Does everyone have to join the outdoor activity
Plan participation around the group’s preferences and needs. Offer a quieter activity or comfortable social time for colleagues who prefer it, then bring everyone together for the shared meal.
