Before enthusiastically starting your first winter tours again, it is essential – whether for ski or snowshoe tours – to refresh your knowledge of avalanche search and rescue. This one-day course is suitable both for beginners and as a refresher course for advanced participants who already have some basic understanding of the topic but would like to get an update.
The mountain guide will present different scenarios so that everyone can practice and train according to their current level. Each participant will receive not only objective feedback after the course but also, upon request, an avalanche transceiver (LVS) certificate from our school confirming the contents covered.
Participation is possible with touring skis, snowshoes, or winter boots. It is not necessary to be able to ski.
