FAQ: ski touring camp for beginners
Do I need touring experience?
No. You should ski confidently on red slopes and be able to walk uphill for 2 to 3 hours.
What equipment do I need?
Touring skis with skins, touring boots and poles – happy to rent from Frühsports. Avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe are included in the price.
Can I combine the beginners' and advanced camps?
We recommend choosing the camp that fits. The basics are revised in the advanced camp anyway.
When do I need to register by?
At least 10 days before the camp starts. The camp runs from 3 participants.
What happens if conditions are poor?
Paul plans the tours according to the weather and avalanche situation. Safety always comes first – if in doubt, we switch to a different objective.
