Avalanche theory evening in Bern with mountain guide
Prepare yourself properly for the winter and learn from the experts. We teach you about avalanches, from the basics to the details.
In this evening we will teach you about the formation and factors of avalanches. Based on this, we will show you the tools to assess the risk in the terrain, to make decisions and to be safe on ski tours and freeriding. At the end of the avalanche theory evening you will go home with more knowledge and ready to deepen it in practice.
