Knowledge means safety

Learn. Practise.
Be prepared.

Whenever you leave secured pistes, you need to understand and assess avalanche risk. Careful planning, appropriate behaviour in the terrain and the ability to recognise potential danger spots are the foundations for safer ski touring and freeriding.

Our courses combine clear explanations with practical training in the snow. Programmes are available for every level — from complete newcomers to experienced ski tourers and freeriders who want to refresh or deepen their knowledge.
