FAQ · Frequently Asked Questions

What you want to know before booking.

CLEAR DECISION · WELL PREPARED TO START

Do I need a lot of experience?
No. The course is aimed at ski mountaineers with little or irregular experience. Safe skiing and a normal basic level of fitness are sufficient as a basis for a day of skiing.
What do I learn on this day?
You learn to translate the avalanche bulletin into concrete tour decisions, assess terrain and exposure, and plan a route with key points and turning points.
Are we also practicing buddy rescue?
Yes, the basics of buddy rescue and group organization are included. The focus is on a clear, repeatable sequence in the context of your ski tour.
What equipment do I need?
Ski and touring equipment as well as LVS device, shovel and probe. If you are missing any equipment, it is best to clarify the possibilities for rental equipment before booking.
What is the difference to the Freeride Avalanche Course?
The ski touring course focuses on ascent, route planning, and decisions in the touring area. For freeride, terrain selection, distances, and downhill decisions are more prominent.
Is the course also suitable as a refresher course?
If you want to brush up on basic knowledge and bring structure back into your decisions, then yes. With a lot of experience and the desire to practice rescue procedures intensively, a more in-depth format works even better.
