What is the difference between the trial and the basic ski touring course?

The taster course is designed for beginners who want to take the first step into the world of ski touring. Together we look at what it takes to go on a ski tour. In the terrain we show tips and tricks in the ascent, look at the avalanche situation and work out a first tour planning.

The basic ski touring course is designed to enable you to go on a ski tour independently. The preparation of the tour and the evaluation of the avalanche situation are dealt with intensively. On the second day, what you have learned will be put into practice on a practical tour.

What happens in bad weather?

In principle, ski tours can always be carried out. We adapt the course ideally to the conditions.

Impressionen:

Guiding only by trained and experienced mountain guides / aspirants. The avalanche safety set (probe, avalanche transceiver, shovel) is mandatory. If the ski area remains closed due to extreme weather conditions, we offer you an alternative option.

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