The proven and popular online training with the expert

Learn all about risk management!

When you are in the high mountains, there are a few things to bear in mind. You should be familiar with objective and subjective dangers, know your equipment and be able to correctly assess the difficulties and requirements.
You will learn everything you need to know about weather and orientation, about physical relationships and, of course, about the correct use of your alpine equipment, exclusively and live from an experienced mountain professional.

The strategies and techniques used by the proven expert are based on a wealth of experience from which you can learn a lot. 
During the entire risk management training there is of course the opportunity to ask specific questions on all topics relating to mountaineering in rock and ice.

5 days, 4 participants, 3 four-thousand-meter peaks, perfect for high-altitude tour beginners in good physical condition

Breithorn (4,165m), Allalinhorn (4,027m) and Bishorn (4,153m) are considered technically easy four-thousand-metre peaks. Nevertheless, the normal routes are anything but boring "glacier hikes". The panorama from the individual peaks is simply phenomenal and a fair reward for the effort.

View from the Großglockner (3,798 m) to the Kleinglockner, over which the normal route runs. On the VIVALPIN alpine tour course, you will walk this route with your state-certified mountain and ski guide.
