When will you decide if the course will take place because of the weather?
We need dry rock to be able to run the course. We will contact you 2-3 days before the course to give you an update. If the weather forecast is unstable, we have to decide on short notice.

What happens in case of bad weather? E.g. if it rains all day?
In case of bad weather, the course will either be held at another location in Central Switzerland (Engelbergertal, Sisikon Uri) or we will offer you a rescheduled date from the calendar.

What if I can’t go on any of the proposed rescheduled dates because of bad weather?
If you can’t make it, you will get your money back. For this we need your IBAN number, name of the account and postcode/city. Please inform us by mail.
