Note on program changes:
All courses and guided tours are conscientiously organized and carried out in accordance with the safety standards of the Vivalpin Mountain and Ski School with qualified specialists (e.g. mountain and ski guides, mountain hiking guides, etc.). The provisional tour program may be adjusted for safety-related reasons, such as bad weather, dangerous conditions, unforeseen natural events or inadequate conditions of the participants. The final program will be decided by the guide on site.
The ice climbing camp is suitable for you if you already have experience in either ice climbing or sport climbing. In any case, you should be proficient in belaying techniques. Simon will be supported at the camp by two Vivalpin mountain guides, as well as mountain school leader Christof. Of course, the camp also includes a cozy get-together with Simon and the guides in the evening. The camp is supported by Edelrid and Ahrntal Tourismus
