To the dates and registration

During these days, we acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to freeride safely and with a lot of fun. We choose the lines we want to ride, make a risk assessment and plan our tactical approach. We learn to recognise how we need to behave and move in the terrain in order to have the most fun with the least risk.

We are experience-orientated, this course takes place in the field - more movement means more fun and the more decisions we can make, the more mistakes we can make. We learn from this and thus accelerate our learning process!

We support you in your skiing technique with individual, targeted and goal-orientated exercises. You will gain experience and learn tools to improve your personal skiing technique in the coming ski days. We teach skiing technique according to the principles of Swiss Snowsports.

Together we work on the basics of skiing on and off the piste. Off the piste, we put what we've learnt into practice and enjoy the fresh powder together!
