This one-day avalanche camp is ideal for off-piste beginners (ski touring, freeride), offering a quick overview and fostering an understanding and awareness of the processes critical for avalanche formation.

In just 1.5 days at the Lechtal Mountain School’s Avalanche Camp, you’ll learn most of what there is to know about avalanche formation and dangers for winter sports enthusiasts. Our instructors consistently highlight the versatility of tour planning as a central element for minimizing risks. We specifically cover essential information and planning portals for various countries.

We’ll cover the theoretical foundations together on the evening before the camp. Our mountain guides will present this in a presentation. The next day, we’ll go on a tour and connect this knowledge with our perception in the winter high mountains. Depending on snow conditions, we’ll choose a suitable area and the optimal tour based on current conditions and participants’ abilities.

The practical session takes place the following day (09:00-16:00) and includes a ski tour followed by practical exercises at various stations.
