Frequently asked questions
No, these events welcome both riders new to the touring scene and more experienced touring enthusists. However, it's important that you have the ability to ski black slopes at least. This is to make sure that you can enjoy the downhill (as much as the uphill) safely !
You need touring gears for this event : you can rent some gear prior to the event, please remember to rent them THE DAY BEFORE the event as the shops won't open early enough for your to be on time to our event. We strongly advise you reserve your gears in advance with a local shop as well.
If you do not have the necessary safety equipment (beacon/probe/shovel), we offer you the chance to borrow on site thanks to our partnership with ARVA. But we recommend you to bring your own equipment if you have. Remember to bring your own backpack & touring snowboard/ touring ski set up.
No
This event will be mostly conducted in English. However, if some participants speaks German, our guides will switch to accommodate.
