Are you plan­ning your first Alpi­ne crossing or moun­tain tour and want to prepa­re yours­elf? Then this pre­pa­ra­ti­on cour­se is just right for you. Over three days, you will learn important and abo­ve all prac­ti­cal tech­ni­ques for hiking safe­ly in alpi­ne ter­rain. In addi­ti­on, we will ans­wer ques­ti­ons about wea­ther con­di­ti­ons in the Alps, equip­ment and basic know­ledge about hiking in the Alps. The cour­se takes place in North Rhi­ne-West­pha­lia, in the Sau­er­land to be pre­cise. Becau­se even in the low moun­tain ran­ge the­re are alpi­ne paths on which you can train for hiking in the Alps. The big advan­ta­ge: you don’t have to tra­vel to the Alps to prepa­re for your first moun­tain adventure.
