Description
In the far west of Austria, directly behind the Arlberg, the Sonnenkopf is a special location for freeriding. There is usually always more than enough snow, and with a wide range of variants and ingenious descents, you can make the most of it for 5 days. A must for all those who have already done a risk'n'fun session and are keen for more expert input and lots of runs in the terrain. Climate tip: travel comfortably by train. You can then head for the chill-out area directly from the Sonnenkopf.
Contents
It goes higher up and we move further and further away from the lifts. Splitboards, touring skis or other ascent aids are a "must have" from level 2 onwards.
In terms of content, the next level ties in with the respective freeride strategy of the training session. The topics of map skills, orientation and avalanche awareness are added and the planning and realisation of the first tours begins.
The risk'n'fun team provides insights into the preparation and subsequent realisation of a tour day and then gradually transfers responsibility to the freeriders. Further soft skills exercises provide a deeper insight into personal risk behaviour.
Level 2 is also about independent planning and action in order to be well prepared to start your own ventures according to the guiding principle "perceive-assess-decide".
This is all packed into the work forms: Practical exercises in the field, small group work, plenary sessions, reflection and feedback
