MORE about the Safety Shred Days

Founded in 2018 by snowboard pro Victor Daviet after surviving several avalanche experiences, the Safety Shred Days have a clear goal: to better prepare riders of all levels for risk and emergency situations in the mountains.
Victor's personal experiences gave rise to the vision of making avalanche and risk training accessible to everyone. Uncomplicated, affordable and practical. Since then, the Safety Shred Days have become a Europe-wide early-season event for snowboarders and freeriders.

The concept
One weekend, two focal points:
- Safety Day: Practical avalanche rescue, risk management & theory - for beginners to pro level.
- Riding Day: Guided freeriding, ski tours or splitboard sessions to directly apply what you have learnt.

A relaxed community event with workshops, riding, movie night & more.

For all ages and levels of experience.

The goal
To reduce accidents in the backcountry.
We want to make avalanche knowledge and prevention accessible to as many riders as possible through affordable, practical training - across different countries, resorts and age groups.

Kids Day: 18 € - Safety Day: 70 € - Riding Day: 105 € - Weekend Pass: 165 €
