Learn everything you need to know about prevention and equipment with this 2-day avalanche course in the High Tatras with IFMGA-certified Tomas.

Tatras

2 Days

Jan - Apr

Description

Mountains offer not only joys but also many dangers. During this 2-day avalanche course in the High Tatras, you'll learn everything you need to know to stay safe in the mountains!

If you are a freerider, ski tourer or mountaineer, you have to know how to assess avalanche risk. Knowing how to operate avalanche equipment is also a necessity. I'll also teach you about snow and weather conditions so that you can evaluate the risks yourself when you are out in the mountains without a mountain guide.

You'll also learn how to operate an avalanche kit (beacon, probe and shovel) and we'll practice searching for buried victims.

A good physical condition is a requirement for this course as we will spend from 6 to 8 hours on our skis. However, it is a beginner's course and no technical skills are necessary.

Depending on snow conditions, this course can be carried out between January and April. Contact me and we'll set a date for this avalanche course in the High Tatras! Get a group together and take advantage of these very informative 2 days.

Also, check out my 2-day ski touring course in the Ore Mountains. Apart from doing some basic avalanche training, we'll cover ski touring basics .

Mountain Guide

I'm an IFMGA-certified mountain guide currently based in the Elbe Valley, Czech Republic. I've skied since a very young age but climbing is my true passion. I was in climbing representation and have climbed many big walls in the Alps, the US and Greenland.To me, mountain guiding is a unique profession: it allows me to spend my days doing what I like and to share with others the beauty I find in in the mountains.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
