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?

What is the difference to the Freeride Avalanche Course?

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.
