Avalanche Course

Freeriding, powder, ski touring – they’re the dream… until the snow starts to move. Our one-day Avalanche Safety Course gives you the essential know-how to enjoy the backcountry with confidence. Through a mix of indoor theory and outdoor practice, you’ll learn how to read terrain, understand snow conditions, and recognize which avalanche types are especially dangerous – and how to avoid them. The training is suitable for all levels, whether you’re new to off-piste or already chasing powder lines. You’ll also get hands-on practice with avalanche beacons – let’s hope you’ll never need those skills for real! Beacons are provided, but if you own your own safety gear, bring it along.

When & where
The theory session takes place indoors, followed by outdoor exercises – so dress comfortably and for the weather. The course will be held at Cronberger Anlage 13 (same location as the AGM venue), just a short walk from the Alkmenestrasse tram stop (Line 18) or easy to reach by car (Sat Nav: Alkmenestrasse 60, parking available behind the gardens). The entrance is through the Kleingartenverein, behind the playground at Herrenapfelstrasse/Alkmenestrasse. The course starts at 10am and lasts 6-7 hours. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

One day of learning could make all the difference for many more seasons of safe adventures.
