All employees were allowed to leave the workplace at 4:00 p.m. to spend the " given time" as they wished and to put it to good use. According to the motto "Do good, good things come back", employees were free to do whatever they felt like during the so-called "Oberalp Christmas Time". The company had creative suggestions for this: writing a handwritten card, supporting those in need on the street, trying something new ...

After that, the gift packages that have been lovingly filled and artfully wrapped over the past few days were opened to finally set the festive table. The packages contained all the ingredients for a successful Oberalp Christmas dinner (for four people), as well as candles, candle holders, napkins, a chain of lights, decorative ribbons and decorative cards.  

 The packages also included a lovingly designed instruction manual, with a QR code that led to a specially designed homepage. There, employees were able to watch Heiner Oberrauch's Christmas message, read CEO Christoph Engl's Christmas letter, and listen to two songs which the Oberalp employees had specially recorded and that invited everyone to sing along. An extraordinary Christmas that succeeded all around, despite the special circumstances. Notwithstanding the physical distance, it was possible to arrange a festive togetherness, just as it should be at Oberalp.
