risk 'n' fun Freeride Tauplitz 2 (Level 1)

perceive - assess - decide

The Tauplitz has been a risk'n'fun classic for years with plenty of opportunities for racy descents, shorter and longer hikes and (usually) endless snow. The accommodation on the car-free Tauplitzalm is located in the centre of the resort in the Hollhaus. A positive side effect of this is being able to spend as much time as possible on the mountain😉. And yes, there's another positive aspect: when it really pushes in from the north, you can expect massive amounts of snow on the Tauplitz. In short: the days on the Tauplitz are always a highlight. 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.

Contents

• 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
