Organizer

You can only be safe off-piste if you practise regularly. Mammut also organises the Snow Safety Session with on-sight practices in the terrain.

Mammut 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).

Sport Conrad as organiser

In cooperation with Mammut, Sport Conrad is offering an avalanche transceiver fair & lectures at the Penzberg branch and a snow safety workshop on the Zugspitze on 14 December 2024 as part of its Snow Safety Days on 13 & 14 December 2024. In short - the ideal combined event to prepare for a safe winter.
