If you are a winter nature lover and skiing off the pistes is your thing, this ski touring course in High Tatras is for you. Learn all the secrets about skiing movements and avalanches management, under the supervision of an IFMGA-certified mountain guide.

This 2-day course begins on Friday with an afternoon briefing during which we will review some basic notions of cross-country skiing and avalanche equipment.

On Saturday we will have a real feel of how it is to ski in the High Tatras. We will also learn many more technical aspects of skiing such as stability test in snow and basic skills using an avalanche transceiver. I will teach you how to safely control your ski descents and how to stop a fall on a steep slope.
