Program
At the Pre-Season Camp, you learn through exciting practical tours in the mountains. One full day focuses on a ski tour combining descents and adventure, with abseiling for every level and, where ability and conditions allow, steeper and more alpine terrain on both the ascent and descent.
In order to adapt the programme as well as possible to your level, we form level groups in which we spend the days on the road.




Training blocks
The conditions during early season can vary. Therefor also our program during the camp. The participant can look forward to a safe and high-quality program regardless of weather and snow conditions. We want to create an optimal learning climate where everyone can contribute their experiences. The team of mountain guides are very motivated to pass on their own experiences to you in a good way. The participants’ experiences and knowledge from the mountains also give us all additional opportunities to develop even more.
The passion for nature and skiing connects us all and we want to focus on the community of snow sports during these three days.
Let yourself be inspired by pro-skier Piers Solomon’s playful and elegant freeride technique. He will be happy to show you in a pragmatic way how you can progress and work with your freeride technique. Broaden your horizons and have fun while skiing with more flow and new (simple) freestyle elements.
Duration: ½ Tag
Leads by: Ski-Coach & Freeride Pro Piers Solomon oder Bergführer
If things go wrong, we want to be prepared for an extreme situation. Do you have your avalanche transceiver fully under control and are you fast enough even under stress? Do you also function in complex situations under time pressure?
Every situation brings individual problems with it. That’s where we focus and train you in the best possible way.
Duration: ½ day plus evening course
Direction: Mountain guide IVBV & Ski patroller
- Companion rescue
- Search, probing, shoveling
- Multiple burial
- First aid for freeriders / ski tourers with ski patroller
- Minor accidents
- Assistance avalanche accidents





As the name suggests, the Pre-Season Camp takes place in the pre-season. The weather, the conditions and the amount of snow is not always optimal. If the ski area should remain closed because of e.g. storm, heavy snowfall or even too little snow, we offer you alternative possibilities in the valley to be optimally prepared for the upcoming winter season.
Duration: As little as possible, as much as necessary.

Dreamed by many, realized by few. To live from skiing is a child’s fantasy for many who are reading this text right now. All guides and ski pros in this camp are doing exactly that. We will introduce you to this life in more detail; how does it come about, what does it take and what are the downsides of this outwardly appearing “high gloss” life?

A full day of ski touring with a focus on descents and adventure: Join your mountain guide on a practical tour combining interesting ascents with rewarding skiing. Learn from real situations as you travel through the mountains.
Climb on skins or on foot to explore varied alpine terrain. Depending on your level, the route may include steeper sections on both the ascent and descent. Practise line choice, terrain assessment and equipment handling where you will actually use these skills.
Abseiling is an exciting skill for every level. At a suitable location, practise rope handling and abseiling under guidance, adapted to your group’s ability. This provides useful preparation for alpine ski tours such as the Titlis Round Tour.
For the more demanding levels: When conditions and the group’s ability allow, the tour may include couloirs, steep ascents and descents, and scrambling sections using crampons and an ice axe.
We choose the route, terrain and techniques according to snow, weather, avalanche conditions and the participants’ skills. The Titlis Round Tour is an example of a future objective, rather than a promised camp itinerary.
Duration: 1 day
Led by: IFMGA mountain guide
- 1 day of practical ski touring focused on descents and adventure, adapted to your level

Adapted according to the current circumstances and on the way in the field, we give you our experience on the subject of avalanche prevention. What do we do today and why not the different? Where is the best place to ski our planned line and above all why? What do I do if things turn out differently than planned? These and many other questions occupy us every day, and we are happy to share our thoughts with you. High practical part.
Duration: ½ day

On a small application tour we deepen your alpine ski technique in the ascent and descent in challenging terrain. Because good skiing and solid accenting mean also safety! Sometimes it takes only a few small tips to achieve a great result.
Duration: ½ day
