Mountains offer not only joys but also many dangers. During this 2-day avalanche course in the High Tatras, you'll learn everything you need to know to stay safe in the mountains!
If you are a freerider, ski tourer or mountaineer, you have to know how to assess avalanche risk. Knowing how to operate avalanche equipment is also a necessity. I'll also teach you about snow and weather conditions so that you can evaluate the risks yourself when you are out in the mountains without a mountain guide.
You'll also learn how to operate an avalanche kit (beacon, probe and shovel) and we'll practice searching for buried victims.
A good physical condition is a requirement for this course as we will spend from 6 to 8 hours on our skis. However, it is a beginner's course and no technical skills are necessary.
Depending on snow conditions, this course can be carried out between January and April. Contact me and we'll set a date for this avalanche course in the High Tatras! Get a group together and take advantage of these very informative 2 days.
Also, check out my 2-day ski touring course in the Ore Mountains. Apart from doing some basic avalanche training, we'll cover ski touring basics .

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.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
