Description

10 years of Avalanche Update! The Alpenverein's successful format will take place this winter as a one-off event (and without a livestream) - where it all began, in Hall in Tirol.

Many avalanche accidents could be avoided

Around 20 ski tourers die in avalanches every year. Although not all avalanches are foreseeable and can occur without human error, the Alpine Association observes recurring accident patterns that could clearly be avoided.
