Avalanche Course - Avalanche Transceiver Training for Winter Sports Enthusiasts

Every Monday and Friday from December 22, 2025, to April 3, 2026. Everyone who is considering conquering the open ski areas and the untouched winter landscape must be aware of the risks. In addition to assessing the avalanche situation, the proper handling of safety equipment is particularly important. This day course provides an initial insight into this. The use of avalanche transceivers, shovels, and probes needs to be learned and, above all, practiced regularly. Basic knowledge is advantageous for all guided tours and sometimes essential. Therefore, we recommend this course to all beginners to gain initial impressions and also to anyone who has already been in the field for a refresher. For practical exercises, we will go into the terrain near the valley.
