The hours of the course on both days are from 8 am to 4 pm. Hence giving you plenty of time to learn a great deal.

So if you would like to learn the skills necessary for safe and fun ski touring, send us a request. We are excited at the opportunity to teach all we know.

The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge.
