Deep snow course Zugspitze
Learning by doing with the pros
Would you like to optimize your skiing technique for deep snow skiing or ski touring?
Then these deep snow courses at different levels are just the thing for you! In combination with the latest equipment, you won't become a freeride pro like Markus Eder straight away, but you will progress quickly and have fun.
This is what the state-certified Vivalpin mountain guides and freeride professionals stand for, who have thousands of downhill meters and kilometers in their legs and are up to date in terms of methodology, tactics and risk management.
To avoid overloading your ski technique training with content, you can explore the topics of snow and avalanche awareness and risk management from the comfort of your own home with one of our online training courses. A proven avalanche expert will take you "by the hand" in one of our popular online training courses and prepare you optimally for your off-piste adventures.
Our home base for the deep snow courses are the snow-rich ski resorts of Garmisch Classic, Zugspitze and Hochfügen.
We are happy to provide you with the latest VÖLKL freeride skis for selected deep snow courses. Please contact the office to find out about the possibilities and what is on offer

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.
Level 1: You should be able to ski medium-difficulty slopes (marked in red) safely and without falling and master the basics of skiing technique. Experience in deep snow is not necessary
Level 2: You already have experience in deep snow and have mastered the basics there.
