…building Adventure
Bergwolf was founded in 1999 originally offering Management-training, Company Events, and Experiential-education with its own High Ropes Course in Scheidegg in the Allgäu, south Germany. Since then it has grown in leaps and bounds.
In 2000 Bergwolf began building High Ropes Courses, and since 2007, further developed into the area of Planning of leisure facilities, planning everything from children’s playgrounds, Ropes Course, Adventure Parks, and Tree-top-paths.

We have extensive experience in the area of “behaviour-oriented learning”, or “Experience-based Training”. Our special capabilities lie in the delivery of attractive events, trainings and the construction of individual High Ropes Courses and Adventure Parks.
Our speciality is Systemic Outdoor-training, based on the connection of Systemic-thinking and Outdoor-training. In 2003, Bergwolf CEO Alfred Essenwanger wrote an article on this topic in the book: “Innovative Workshop Concepts - Recipe for Success for Enterprises, Managers and Trainers” wriiten by Mario Gust and Uwe Seebacher.
