Avalanache safety evenings 2025/2026

What was that again about the five typical danger patterns and critical slope angles? During the information evening, you will deal with the topic of avalanche awareness. In cooperation with two mountain schools, we organise 16 avalanche information evenings.

Together with our partners, the Höhenfieber mountain school (for German-speaking Switzerland) and Think Climb Live (for French-speaking Switzerland), we will give you a insight into avalanche science at the avalanche information evening. The information evenings are suitable as a supplement to a practical course or as a refresher for advanced students.

The following topics are covered, among others:

  • How does an avalanche occur?

  • Typical avalanche problems

  • Interpreting avalanche bulletins

  • Assessing avalanche danger

  • 3x3 assessment and decision-making framework

  • Graphical reduction method and planning tools

  • Human conduct

  • Safety equipment: avalanche transceivers, probe, shovel, avalanche airbag, etc.

  • Information on further practical courses

  • Question and answer session

All of this in combination with a brief overview of the most important safety products – our experts tell you everything you need to know in a concise and direct way.
