Montfairway in Thônes, in the Aravis valley about 25 minutes from Annecy, offers company events in an indoor golf club of 500 m². It has three Trackman simulator boxes where 12 people play at the same time, and the whole club can be hired for larger groups. Teams use it for afterworks, half-day team building, private evenings and seminars that mix a work session with a golf activity.
Seminars and company events
The site lists five formats for companies: an afterwork of about two hours, a half-day of activity, a private evening, a seminar with a work session in the morning and golf in the afternoon, and a company tournament. No golf experience is needed. The Trackman simulators make the game accessible from the first swing, and the challenges adapt to each player's level, so beginners and regular golfers play in the same game.
A sample tournament runs in five steps: a welcome with coffee or a cocktail and the forming of teams, an initiation on the simulators with the club's golf professional, a qualification round where each team plays in its own box with drive and approach contests, a final on a well-known course with a live ranking, and a prize ceremony with a podium and trophies on the terrace or in the lounge. Because everything takes place indoors, the date does not depend on mountain weather.
Rooms and capacities
The club has three Trackman boxes, with up to 4 players per box, so 12 players at the same time. Each box has its own bar and private armchairs, and tapas can be served between shots. For larger groups the whole 500 m² club is hired, with its lounge area and terrace, and the team organizes rotations between the boxes. The site does not state a maximum number of guests for full hire.
Private parties and concerts
Beyond business events, the club hosts birthdays, private evenings and concerts, with stage, sound and light. It has already welcomed concerts by Lord Kossity, Skarra Mucci and Lyricson, and the town hall of Thônes has hired the whole club for an event. The site does not offer weddings.
Catering
Drinks and tapas are served in the boxes. The site describes no in-house kitchen or restaurant service, so ask the team how a seated meal or a larger buffet would be arranged for your group.
History and setting
Montfairway is run by Montfairway SAS. One of its co-founders, Thomas Royer, is a golf professional who taught for 8 years at the Golf du Grand-Bornand. He can open an event with an initiation covering basic technique, and his coaching relies on Trackman data on swing, speed, trajectory and spin. The club is in the industrial zone Les Perrasses and also runs a members' program with access around the clock.
Getting there
Montfairway is at 45 avenue d'Annecy, ZI Les Perrasses, in Thônes. It is about 25 minutes from Annecy, on the road to La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand, which makes it easy to reach both for companies based around Annecy and for seminars organized in the ski resorts of the valley.
