This training program is designed for:
Snow Shoe Walkers, Ski Tourers, Off Piste Skiers & Snowboarders
Topics covered include:
- What is an avalanche?
- How do avalanches develop?
- How do I recognise a potential avalanche slope?
- What should I do in an avalanche?
- How to rescue companions from underneath an avalanche
We provide and explain how to use the equipment required when in avalanche prone areas and explain snow conditions. We will point out key factors that you should recognise as potential avalanche starters.
The chosen area for this course is the area around the Rudolf Hut in the Salzburg part of the Hohe Tauern National Park. This area is easily accessible and the hut is more like a hotel than a hut. The area also tends to receive lots of snow due to its location between the north and south Alps.
Fitness: Able to ascend for 3 - 5 hours over technically easy terrain
Group: Maximum of 8 participants per Mountain Guide
Price: Price includes guiding and organisation
