The Kitzsteinhorn is a paradise for freeriders - with numerous variants, varied descents and guaranteed snow that lasts until spring. During this risk'n'fun training session, you will stay in the resort, at the Kitzsteinhorn Federal Sports Centre at over 2,000 metres of altitude.

perceive - assess - decide

With accommodation, the Kitzsteinhorn Federal Sports Centre, right in the heart of the resort, freeriding days can start straight from the doorstep. And by the way, living at over 2,000 metres, being able to start the day without searching for a parking space and queuing at the gondola and ending it with the last rays of sunshine on the mountain simply has a very special charm. Over four days, you will develop your own freeride strategy together with state-certified guides and experienced trainers - centred around the pillars perceive - assess - decide.

Content

  • In level 1, the training session, a freeride strategy is developed together with the risk'n'fun team around the content pillars "perceive - assess - decide".

  • The guides (state-certified mountain, ski and snowboard guides) are responsible for the hard skills part. This includes the correct use of emergency equipment, the interpretation and application of the avalanche report and everything that needs to be taken into account during the descent.

  • The risk'n'fun trainers are responsible for teaching the soft skills. How do you personally deal with "risk"? What changes when you are travelling with a group? What influences decisions and how?

  • The aim is for you to be able to make your own decisions after the session, argue for yourself and find lines and descent variants that suit the respective conditions.

  • This is all packed into the working methods: Practical exercises in the field, small group work, plenary sessions, reflection and feedback
