Avalanche course in the winter landscape - at the foot of the Zugspitze - Alpspitze -Kreuzeck - Hausberg

With 1 to 4 people, our guide leads an avalanche course in the snowy mountains of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Winter is here, and our avalanche course will give you a competent start to the season! You've probably already got your skis out of the cellar! The first ski tours are already on the agenda. More and more people are asking themselves: Can I really go off-piste on my own responsibility?

We offer avalanche courses for beginners and advanced skiers, where you learn how to minimize the risk off the slopes.

As professionals, we have been out and about in winter terrain for many years and are happy to let you benefit from our experience.

You will receive information on the latest developments in the use of avalanche transceivers. In a theoretical unit and practical exercises, you will learn how to use an avalanche transceiver and can play through various scenarios.

Of course, this also includes instruction on how to use the probe and avalanche shovel.
Various search patterns are carried out in this avalanche course for beginners and advanced skiers - a safe introduction to winter.

Skiers, snowboarders, ski tourers, freeriders, snowshoe hikers - everyone is welcome on the avalanche course.
