Education
For decades, we have been very committed to training.
We pass on our knowledge and our professional experience in regional, national and international courses.
As instructors, we are during the winter period involved in avalanche-, ski-, ski touring- and ice climbing training courses; during the summer time in mountaineering-, rope- and climbing courses.
These for the Swiss J+S (youth and sport organisation) leadership courses, SAC (Swiss Alpine Club) tour guide courses and mountain guide training.
On request, we will gladly organize basic and advanced training for private individuals or small groups, as well as for J+S, SAC and other groups.
Practical learning, while actually doing the activity, is the most interesting and effective way to learn.
Examples
Winter
Avalanche courses – prevention
The risk of an avalanche is critical in winter sports. This is why thorough training in risk assessment and avoidance is so essential. Prevention is all-important. We will provide you with the strategy.
Avalanche courses – rescue
The assistance of everyone in the group is essential if the search is to be effective. Efficient searching with transceivers, the use of probes and the right shoveling technique help enormously.
Summer
Short roping
Progress as a roped party with the short rope technique. A very important technique.
Difficult but accurately applied very efficient and helpful.
Climbing
Learning the fundamental motion while climbing. Technique and tactic on crags and rock routes.
Rope technique
Knots, tying in a harness, belaying technique, using different belay devices.
Using the accurate rope technique is fundamental when practising activities with risks.
