Winter Weekend Fideriser Heuberge
Want to go ski or snowshoe touring, but don’t have the necessary experience? Then the Transa Winter Weekend is the right event for you. Register now!
Learn how to go ski touring or snowshoeing or take it up again if you’ve had a few years’ break: over the course of two days at the Winter Weekend, you’ll learn the most important things to keep you safe when outdoors. Together with the Höhenfieber mountaineering school, we’ll teach you the basics of touring, materials and the knowledge you need for safe tours. We will practice what we have learnt on site in the Fideriser Heuberge on a two-day ski or snowshoe tour. Amongst other things, you will learn:
How to handle materials (skins, touring skis, avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel)
Climb technique
Basic knowledge of avalanches
Our accommodation is the beautiful Chalet Arflina, where meals will also be provided. Read the details below or sign up directly.
