High tours coaching level 2 | around and up the Galenstock
Learn from professionals on application tours, go on cool tours together and climb great peaks. All in small groups and an excellent learning environment!
Deepen your knowledge and skills with level 2 alpine tour coaching. We coach you individually, from planning to realisation on the individual route. We give you constructive feedback and you learn tricks that professional mountain guides use in their work. With its granite mountains, the Furka region offers a perfect learning environment and the tours are varied and exciting! We move on multi-pitch and micro-pitch routes, sometimes we belay at mobile belay stations and learn efficient rope handling. We learn to recognise possible dangers and how to deal with them, what our options are to be as safe as possible in the mountains.
The high tour coaching sessions are extremely instructive, take the opportunity and gain confidence and self-assurance in a perfect learning environment!
