General overview

Avalanche accidents accompany us unfortunately through every winter season and are mostly caused by winter sports enthusiasts and snowshoe hikers, often with serious consequences. As conscious mountain lovers, it is our responsibility to educate aware and capable participants, in case of an emergency.

Requirements

Avalanche knowledge: No previous experience necessary

Fitness: Generally fit and able to hike up to 1 hr.

Avalanche Basic Course – Safety First!

Every year, more and more winter sports enthusiasts visit the pristine slopes of our mountains. This leads to an increased number of avalanche accidents, some of which could have been avoided through training and know-how on how to act in emergency situations. As conscious mountain enthusiasts, it is therefore our responsibility to train participants who are aware and able to act. We will present all common rescue techniques and avalanche transceivers so that nothing stands in the way of a safe ski, splitboard and snowshoe season.

We will hold this course in several areas around Andermatt, Riemenstalden or the Klausen Pass.

Itinerary

Morning

At the meeting point the equipment is distributed and we reach the course location by a short hike, in an idyllic location in the snowy region of Uri. After a short theoretical introduction, we practice an avalanche rescue to familiarize ourselves with equipment such as LVS device, shovel and probe. Evaluating the snowpack is also on our program.

Afternoon

After a short break, we get down to business again! We will look at topics such as track selection for the descent, reading avalanche bulletins and defensive approach in avalanche terrain. At the end of the course you will be able to start your tours independently and safely.
