SAAC Camps for freeriders

Powderdreams – but secure

Warth-Schröcken is one of the top resorts for freeriders, enjoying the snow beside the slopes. There are wide open spaces as well as small tree runs and cliff drops. Furthermore: lots of snow is guaranted. With 11 meters of fallen snow per year, Warth-Schröcken is one of the most snow-rich skiresorts of the alps.

One of the most important things, when going off-pist, is to know about alpine risks and safety measures. That’s why the skiresort Warth-Schröcken offers in cooperation with SAAC (Snow & Avalanche Awareness Camps) freeride workshops. In these workshops mountain guides show the participants how to read an avalanche report, how to use the safety equipment, how to assess alpine terrain and give important tipps for planning a tour.

The SAAC Basic Camp is for free and takes 2 days.

After participating the Basic Camp, the „SAAC^nd Step“ Camp offers the possibility to improve the skills in a 3.5 or 5.5 day camp.
