What is the difference between the Basic and Advanced ski touring courses?

The Basic course is for ski tourers who do not yet have much experience and want to learn or improve their basic skills. The advanced course is aimed at an experienced audience who have already mastered the basic skills and now want to take it a step further.

What happens in bad weather?

Ski tours can always take place. We adapt the course ideally to the conditions.

Führung nur durch ausgebildete und erfahrene Bergführer/Aspiranten.  Das Lawinen Safety-Set (Sonde, LVS, Schaufel) ist obligatorisch. Sofern das Skigebiet wegen extremen äusseren Wetterbedingungen geschlossen bleibt, bieten Ihnen eine Alternativmöglichkeit an.

Das Angebot wird an die lokalen, selbständigen Bergführer in Engelberg vermittelt.
