The Snow and Avalanche Update is an offer to experts who have experience in snow and avalanche knowledge, in the use of snowcard or reduction method, to all who are regularly off piste and also to those who lead groups.

"A lot has happened in snow and avalanche science. The development is far from complete. From my point of view, it is therefore indispensable for all those who are regularly out and about in the snow or who also lead groups to regularly update themselves."

Vivalpin professional mountain guide and ski instructor Andi Stippler has explored the extensive off-piste area over the past few winters and has come to the conclusion that the endless freeride runs between Gilfert and Olperer are among the best in the northern Alps: The endless freeride runs between Gilfert and Olperer are some of the best in the Northern Alps and need no introduction.

What an undertaking! We don't want to get Hannibal involved again, but a crossing of the Alps is and remains something very special. Especially with skis and if the ascents are kept within limits. A maximum of 2 hours of ascent per day is possible, but it is definitely worth it in view of the descents. Immediately adjacent to the Bavarian foothills of the Alps
