"Sicher am Berg" mit Bergführer Thomas Schäfer ​-​ Mountaineering Basic

Starting with an understanding of alpine hazards, you will learn to recognize potential risks early and respond effectively. We place special emphasis on selecting and safely handling your equipment, including important knot techniques that will assist you in various situations.

Walking and climbing in trackless terrain, as well as traversing snowfields, are further focal points of our training. You will gain insights into the basics of rock climbing and learn how to handle simple climbing passages with mountaineering boots.
