RISK MANAGEMENT

Skiing & snowboarding outside of marked pistes always involves a certain residual risk, even if this is reduced to a minimum by the experience & knowledge of the snowacademy guides. Alpine terrain should always be treated with respect and appropriate behavior. In order to ensure safety on the mountain for you personally as well as for each individual in your group, the instructions and decisions of the guides must always be followed.

The snowacademy recommends that you take out your own international health insurance for the duration of the camp as well as travel cancellation insurance
