    General information

    Here you will find basic information that applies to all tours and courses.
    Please note that there may be deviations depending on the tour or course.

    You will need special touring equipment for ascending and skiing off-piste.
    Touring skis or a splitboard are mandatory, while snowshoes are only suitable to a limited extent, depending on the tour and the conditions.
    The most important materials are

    – Avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe
    – Splitboard or skis including skins and crampons
    – Drinks and snacks
    – A rucksack to store everything.

    You can find more details in the packing list.

    Equipment check: Please check that your equipment is in good working order before every tour.
    With splitboards, pay particular attention to checking all screws.

    Our guides are certified and trained to offer safe and high-quality tours.

    Key points:

    • Small groups: Maximum 7 people per tour
    • Qualification: All guides are qualified snow sports instructors or mountain guides with a valid risk management certificate
    • Equipment: Guides are out and about with splitboards
    • Safety: Our top priority; safety and emergency concept guarantees the greatest possible safety
    • Quality: Highest standards in professional and human terms
    • Sustainability: Our tours are coordinated with public transportation and we are environmentally conscious
    • Attitudes: We respect the values of our guests and value accessibility

    We offer tours in Switzerland, refrain from heliskiing and attach great importance to a sustainable and safe experience in the mountains.

    We rent out:
    – Splitboard sets (incl. bindings, crampons and skins)
    – Touring ski sets (incl. bindings, crampons and skins)
    – Avalanche transceiver sets
    – Touring poles

    The maximum rental period of 2 days can be deducted from a subsequent purchase.

    Further information: Rent and test

    Of course, you can also hire equipment from any other store.
    When hiring equipment, whether from a store or a colleague, always pay attention to functionality.

    Participation in a tour is at your own risk.
    Please ensure that you have adequate insurance cover, primarily for accidents and rescue.
    A patronage of Rega is particularly worthwhile.

    Inform the responsible tour leader in good time before the tour of any existing safety-related illnesses or medication.

    The mountain adventure harbors risks. No tour takes place without the essential safety equipment – avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel.
    This equipment can be hired from Radical or another provider.
    Airbag and helmet are not obligatory.

    Risk management on tours: Safety has top priority.
    Weather and conditions determine whether the tour goes ahead.
    The tour may have to be postponed or adapted at short notice, at no additional cost to you.

    The avalanche danger cannot be assessed in absolute terms, but the risk on ski and splitboard tours can be calculated through targeted risk management.
    This requires continuous consideration and measures.
    Your help is important here.

    The ascent itself is not difficult.
    We’ll find time to look at it together.
    Touring means being able to ride well even in bad conditions
    -> The first splitboard tour
    –> Difficulty level

    Every tour is unique.
    In addition to the basic information such as type, location, altitude and requirements, we always find time to respond to individual wishes.
    This can be a special photo, studying the avalanche conditions together or a break at a special place.
    Although not every tour is the same, most courses include the following content:

    • Glue on climbing skins correctly
    • Correctly adjust ski and snowboard boots/splitboard bindings, including climbing aid
    • Touring pole height and correct hand position
    • Checking and using the avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe
    • Use and installation of crampons
    • Practicing hairpin bends
    • Running, enjoying, powdering and experiencing nature
    • Avalanche awareness, planning and orientation

    All our tours are easily accessible by public transport.

    Parking spaces are generally available, but are often subject to a charge.
    If the weather is fine and conditions are good, you can expect traffic jams, especially on the way home.

    We ask you to travel by public transport if possible or to form car pools in order to protect our environment.
