Release Private Retreat has created the ultimate corporate winter package for companies to reward top performers and teams, combining adrenalin fuelled pursuits and luxury comforts for this winter season.

Heliskiing, ice climbing, winter driving, private massages and sumptuous food and wine are all on the menu at Release, an architecturally designed luxury retreat over-looking Lake Wanaka, New Zealand.

The Corporate Release Package includes skiing tips and guidance from Greg Harrington (ex US Olympic Coach) at New Zealand’s premiere ski area, Treble Cone, followed by a five-run heli-ski day in the dream back country location of the Southern Alps. Day three heads to the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds to test and advance winter driving skills on the most challenging of surfaces snow/ice with advice from the highly trained driving instructors. The final day challenges guests to ice climbing, learning new skills under the guidance of professional high altitude guides.

Evenings will be spent at a more leisurely pace indulging with in-house massages, a gourmet dining experience, prepared by Michelin trained chef Dave Miller, with special guest Guy Cotter. Guy is a director of Adventure Consultants, a world renowned high altitude expedition company based in Wanaka and has led over 30 expeditions around the globe including four ascents of Mt. Everest.

“Lake Wanaka is the perfect destination for corporate incentives and the package is designed to stimulate and challenge. After an energetic day on the snow or scaling new heights guests can relax on the deck or in the hot tub and enjoy the stunning views across Lake Wanaka, a great way to reward the team with a winter escape they won’t forget in a hurry,” said Release co-founder Nick Frame.

Available throughout winter the package includes five nights accommodation at Release, 4wd vehicle, all activities and gear hire as well as basic provisions. The package starts from NZ$1250 per person per night (based on four people), is flexible and can be tailored to suit the group’s requirements and skill levels.

Release has a five star Qualmark ranking; it can accommodate six adults comfortably and provides a perfect venue for families, friends or corporate groups.
