MAMMUT Snow Safety Sessions Allgäu (Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Outdoor)
In the Mammut Snow Safety Sessions you will learn the necessary know-how to make the right decisions and act efficiently in critical situations - whether on a ski tour or while freeriding.
Safety sessions in the field or indoors
Mammut offers a number of indoor and outdoor workshops in Germany, Switzerland, France and Sweden. In the outdoor program, state-certified mountain guides and Mammut safety experts jointly teach important basic knowledge for beginners and experienced skiers - live on a practice ski tour. The aim is to refresh avalanche knowledge and practice use of safety equipment (duration approx. 7 hours). The indoor program also provides an introduction to general avalanche awareness. You can also expect helpful tips on how to use your avalanche equipment (duration approx. 2 hours).
Both program options offer enough time to deal with specific questions.
Program in the field
If you wish, you can test the basic equipment with shovel, probe, the new Barryvox avalanche transceiver and avalanche airbag backpack - we have enough equipment for all participants. After handing out the test equipment, it's off into the terrain. The correct use of emergency equipment is practised on the slope, search scenarios and the organisation of first aiders on site are discussed, as well as rescuing companions. Correct probing, efficient shovelling techniques and general avalanche awareness topics are also on the agenda, as well as test deployments of airbags and the correct handling of avalanche airbag backpacks.
