Randonnée and Ski Touring Course
An educational course focusing on safe travel and technique, both uphill and downhill.
Have you purchased ski touring equipment/splitboard, or do you want to learn how to travel off-piste? Then this ski touring and summit course is perfect for you.
The entire course is hands-on, and we get out into the mountains as soon as possible. The course takes place in small groups of up to 6 people, ensuring an excellent learning environment. A long day out in the winter mountains can be demanding, and participants will have the opportunity to test their clothing and other equipment in a safe setting.
Learn about safe route choices, snow, and safety on tours! Suitable for those who can ski/snowboard on groomed trails but want to learn more about safe independent travel in the mountains.
This 2-day course is for those without avalanche knowledge who wish to learn about safe travel on ski tours. We start from the beginning here. Come as you are and join us in creating a great learning environment.
The tours will primarily take place in the Tyin-Filefjell area, where the terrain offers excellent opportunities for easy and enjoyable skiing and varied terrain with good learning possibilities.
