Digital training
Why these courses make sense for everyone
On the mountain, it's not memorized knowledge that counts, but how well you make decisions under real conditions. This is exactly what is difficult to practise in everyday life: Too few tours, too few critical situations, too much chance.
Digital gives you a variety of realistic scenarios - far more than a season can offer - and precise feedback from state-certified mountain guides. You practise when it fits into your everyday life, without a group, without coordination effort.
Beginner
Beginners, newcomers and ski touring enthusiasts
When you set off, a lot of things come at you at the same time: Avalanche transceiver basics from the practical course, slope inclinations, weather, group dynamics. Outside, there is hardly any time to think everything through calmly. Our training courses guide you step by step through typical decision-making moments, from the first check to the emergency plan.
You make decisions yourself, see immediately why something fits (or doesn't) and repeat them until you automatically get the hang of things. In this way, you consolidate your on-site training, learn to interpret avalanche reports, identify problems and go on your first tours with real confidence.
Possible problems (heuristic traps) on tour:
- Authority/"halo": The most experienced person says it fits and ignores their own warning signs or gut feelings.
- Coherence/commitment: The plan is in place, but any comments or changes are minimized.

I often go
Ski touring enthusiasts, outdoor professionals and alpinists
You have experience, but how often have you found yourself in really crucial, instructive situations outside? Usually less often than expected. This is where our training comes in: You get more relevant decision-making moments per hour than on any real tour.
And: Your decision is evaluated and justified. You recognize patterns, sharpen your heuristics and close blind spots. All without peer pressure and exactly when it fits in with your rhythm: before work, in the evening, in the transition period. This is how routine grows instead of coincidence.
Possible problems (heuristic traps) on tour:
- Familiarity: Under the motto "I already know it" or "I've skied this slope umpteen times".
- Coherence/commitment: The plan is in place, but any comments or changes are minimized.
What you specifically train:
- Variants for
changing conditions - Risk communication
- Prioritizing under time pressure

Teens, vacationers and city dwellers
Off-piste, the group often decides. This is exactly where independence is needed: recognize, address, stop. Our scenarios show typical pressure situations (leads, peer group, social hype) and make it clear how to make good decisions despite the group.
You learn clear roles, simple check routines and an emergency procedure that works. This boosts your self-confidence and reduces risky moments when you get carried away.
Possible problems (heuristic traps) on tour:
- Scarcity and "powder fever": "Get in quick before it's gone!"
- Social pressure: "Everyone goes", the group pushes, objections are silenced.
- Time pressure: "Last descent, we have to."

I am a vacationer
Guests without mountain experience, ski vacationers (once a year)
You are not regularly on the mountain every winter. Knowledge rusts, procedures become uncertain. At the same time, local conditions vary greatly.
Our compact training courses refresh your awareness of dangers and decisions: You play through realistic vacation situations, make decisions, receive clearly substantiated feedback and repeat until it's ingrained. Ideal before the trip or in the evening in your accommodation.
