Hi buddies,

#edit end.

I am going to take part in a Höhenkurs beginner course.

you can check here:

https://vivalpin.com/shop/detail/article/einsteigerkurs-fit-am-gletscher-und-auf-hochtour-tirol-at-3-tage-level-1/

Please make yourself familiar on the webpage.

The course takes place next to Braunschweiger Hütte that is near Talstation Pitztaler Gletscherpass.

Everything in the course is included except of proper boots, rucksack, clothing etc.

(also boots can be lent.)

The course will cost roughly 450€ and starts only when we are at least 6 ppl. 

Hopefully we then will have a good time and might do additional hikes to apply our knowledge:).

what you learn at this Höhenkurs:

Crevasse rescue (self and others rescue), tour planning weather knowledge, crampons technique, useful knots, using ice axe, 

I can take my car and take 4 additional passengers with me or we lend a car suitable for up to 8 passengers or sb else adds one extra car.

If you are interested to join just write me 

0163 7674627.

I will create a WhatsApp group then so we do the planning.

Please do only join in hiking buddies after having contacted me and if you really want to take place because of the cancellation fees and the risk that the course will not take place if we don’t reach the minimum number of participants.
