Description

If you like to explore the mountain’s backcountry, you should know that danger is a factor. This basic avalanche safety course will help you to minimize the risk. Join me!

Switzerland is the ideal place for this training. This stunning alpine country boasts some of the world’s most iconic peaks. When  the snow falls on them, they are perfect for winter activities such as snowshoeing, snowboarding, splitboarding and skiing. However, if you like to move off-piste, remember that avalanches can happen!

This training day takes place in Central Switzerland, which has amazing powder areas in Mount Titlis, Gemsstock and Gross Bielenhorn, among other impressive peaks. We will learn the current avalanche theory including slope assessment, transmitter usage, and basic preparation in the case of an avalanche. Furthermore, the course is suitable for all levels (from beginners to advanced) and can be held with bad weather.

So, if you are up for this avalanche safety course in the Swiss Alps, please get in touch with me. Get the basic knowledge to be safe in your backcountry adventures!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.
