2-day ski touring course in the Ore Mountains

Learn ski touring and avalanche equipment basics during this 2-day ski touring course in the Ore Mountains with IFMGA-certified guide Tomas.

2 Days

Feb - Apr

Description

This ski touring course in the Ore Mountains in the Czech Republic is perfect for those who want to try this activity for the first time. You'll learn about mountain safety, avalanche equipment and progression on skis.

During this 2-day course, we will cover the use and proper care of ski touring equipment. You will also learn how to use avalanche equipment (beacon, probe and shovel) and we will practice searching for victims. In this regard, I will also teach you how to assess avalanche risk and we'll talk about snow and weather conditions.

This course takes place in the backcountry terrain of Bouřňák ski resort, in the Ore Mountains, from mid-February to April. I can take a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8 people on this course.

No previous ski touring experience is required because it is a beginner's course. However, take into account that we will spend between 6-8 hours on our skis every day. A good physical condition is a must.

If you're visiting the Czech Republic during the summer and would like to check out some of the programs I offer during the warmer months, don't hesitate to take a look at my sandstone climbing program in the Elbe Valley and my via ferrata day trip.

Join me on this ski touring course and learn to enjoy the backcountry in complete safety. Contact me and we'll start planning!

Mountain Guide

I'm an IFMGA-certified mountain guide currently based in the Elbe Valley, Czech Republic. I've skied since a very young age but climbing is my true passion. I was in climbing representation and have climbed many big walls in the Alps, the US and Greenland.To me, mountain guiding is a unique profession: it allows me to spend my days doing what I like and to share with others the beauty I find in in the mountains.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
