Snow Safety Camp 13.12.2025
The Sport Conrad Snow Safety Workshop on December 13, 2025, will focus on avalanche safety, orientation, and responsibility in the mountains. In collaboration with Mammut, Pieps, and Arva, you can look forward to three intensive workshops where you can test the latest safety equipment, compare different avalanche transceiver systems, and train for real-life scenarios with experienced mountain guides. From searching for buried victims to avalanche awareness and decision-making training in the field, this day will bring you closer to what really matters: awareness of safe behavior in the Alps.
Together with Sport Conrad and leading safety brands, you will learn how to react correctly in critical situations and expand your mountain skills in a targeted manner. In addition to the adult workshops, there will also be a kids' workshop.
