FUN AND TRAINING IN SAFETY

Join my avalanche‑risk management weekend workshops. During snow excursions in stunning locations, with an overnight stay at altitude, you’ll learn prevention techniques and gain the skills you need to approach the winter mountains with greater awareness

My three‑weekend programs, each consisting of two days of snow excursions with an overnight stay in a mountain hut or high‑altitude hotel, are designed to introduce participants to the wonders of the winter mountains. Moving across snow‑covered terrain with the help of snowshoes, you will learn the basic elements needed to assess the snowpack, evaluate avalanche risk, and choose the safest route and track.


The topic of avalanche accidents and their management will also be covered, including practical exercises in self‑rescue and rescuing others.

Participants who do not have their own avalanche safety equipment will be provided with a complete Beacon, shovel, and probe kit free of charge.

Group size: minimum 3, maximum 8.

Required gear: suitable boots for hiking on snow, appropriate clothing, snowshoes, and trekking poles

"Rifugio Ferraro - Ayas Valley

with a snowshoe hike to Pian di Verra and Lago Blu, facing the Monte Rosa glaciers and its 4,000‑metre peaks!

Date / weekend:

  • 31 January - 1 February 2026    -    SOLD OUT!
  • 21/22 February 2026

Rifugio Ferraro is located in the beautiful and traditional Walser village of Resy, above the hamlet of Saint‑Jacques. Its position is strategic: easily accessible in every season, it offers a stunning view over Champoluc and the upper Ayas Valley, and serves as an ideal starting or finishing point for the many outdoor activities available in the area. At the hut, in the late afternoon and after dinner, a multimedia theoretical lesson will be held on the proper behaviour to adopt during excursions on snow-covered terrain, on risk‑assessment methods, and on preventive measures to reduce hazards. Avalanche self‑rescue techniques will of course be presented as well, using slides, instructional videos, interactive activities, practical examples, and case studies to understand the various issues and the best ways to address and manage them
