Your opinion counts

What Schneewise customers say

"The tours are really well thought out and superbly designed. The variety of topics and tasks in particular makes every tour exciting and varied. The content was a great help for me as a less advanced avalanche assessor."
Kathi
"Beautifully prepared tours that convey the important information using concrete examples and consolidate the knowledge learned through the questioning."
Philipp
"I liked that it was step by step as when you go touring and therefore helped going through the same thought process as when outside and keeping it realistic."
Tanja
"I find the training sessions perfect in combination with an outdoor course. You can repeat everything again in peace and quiet."
Florian
"I am a ski tour guide and did the training because I was interested in the approach and whether it is useful and sensible for my customers, which I am convinced of after the training. I can only endorse your approach and will recommend it to others."
Christian
"I particularly liked the interactivity and the accompanying explanations, details and illustrations!"

ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL TRAINING

Hardly any winter

Critical moments rarely happen on real tours; or all at once. Digitally, you train more scenarios than a season can offer: different exposures, steepnessessnowpacks, group constellations. This way, knowledge becomes applicable and you can make safe decisions when it matters. when it matters.

Your learning success

through a perfected learning journey

  • Briefing: weather, terrain, group and other hard facts of the starting situation, just like before a real tour.
  • Deciding on a slope: choose a variant, give reasons, see the consequences.
  • Feedback from the mountain guide: Learn what you don't yet know and when a decision would have been wrong.
  • Repeat & vary: Create the same patterns in new settings and routines.

FAQ

Isn't learning outside more "real"?

A ski touring course on the mountain is essential. But how often do you attend such courses? With digital training, you get much more practice in critical variants at any time.

You will receive specific feedback on every decision from state-certified mountain guides.

As often as you like within the 6 months - routine is created through repetition.

Basic knowledge helps, but is not essential. Tour 1 is suitable as an introduction and is also available in English.
