Fly! – Ski & Fly Friday | book now |

 

Easy entry in the future of Freeride and Skitouring

You don’t have a license to fly yet? No problem, try it out under professional instruction!

When it’s green below, you usually end your ski tour or freeride descent too early. The arduous descent by foot could become the new normal with the “modern winter” and its global warming.

With a lightweight single skin (max. 2kg incl. harness), you can fly comfortably with your skis to après ski or to the next powder run.

 

The Ski & Fly workshop will introduce you to the new world and give you a stepping stone to learn this fascinating possibility. 

On a practice slope near Trübsee you will learn the most important basics about material and weather, start with the skis, flying and the landing. If you are talented, you can also experience the feeling of half flying and half skiing.

Duration: 3 – 4 hours // Guiding: Flight Instructor SHV

  • Training block “Material & Theory” (short)
    • Paragliding in general
    • Singleskins for Ski & Fly
    • Harnesses
    • Wind & Weather Basics
  • Application flights
    • Launch preparation
    • Independent take off with skis
    • Flight experience

Safe! – Avalanche Safety Management in the field | book now |

 

Avalanche prevention training

According to the current avi situation and touring in the field, we give you our experience on the subject of avalanche prevention. What do we do and why we do not do something else on that specific day? Where is the best place to ski our planned line and above all why do we ski that line? What to do if things turn out differently than planned? These and many other questions occupy us every day, and we are happy to share our thoughts with you.
