Freeriding

Sports and Lifestyle

Freeriding is more than just a sport, it is a feeling of endless freedom. More and more often skiers and snowboarders venture into the unprepared wilderness where there are few limits – except the terrain and their individual abilities.

Powder snow and glittering deep powder slopes, the Hochkönig ski region also has a lot to offer when it comes to freeriding. Especially Aberg is a freeriding hotspot and attracts many freeriders with its numerous ski routes. Perfect for sporty winter holidaymakers and adventurers!

Workshops & Courses

Risk'n'Fun Hochkönig | Level 1

Level 1: 4 days off-piste with the risk'n'fun team and other freeriders. Short hikes close to the slopes, numerous decision-making situations and off-piste runs. Welcome to the risk'n'fun training session!

At level 1, the training session, a freeride strategy is developed together with the risk'n'fun team around the content points "perceive - judge - decide". Our guides (state-certified mountain, ski and snowboard guides) are responsible for the hard skills part. This includes the correct use of emergency equipment, the interpretation and application of the avalanche report and everything that has to be considered during the descent.

The risk'n'fun trainers are responsible for teaching soft skills. What is the personal approach to "risk"? What changes when you are travelling with a group? What influences how decisions are made? The aim is that after the session you can make your own decisions, argue your own case, find your own lines and downhill variations that suit the conditions.

More information about Level 1

Risk'n'Fun Hochkönig | Level 2

Level 2: We climb higher and move further and further away from the lifts. Split boards, touring skis or other ascent aids are a "must have" from level 2 on.

The content of the next level is linked to the respective freeride strategy of the training session. The topics of mapping, orientation and avalanche awareness are added, and the planning and implementation of first tours is started.

The risk'n'fun team provides insights into the preparation and subsequent implementation of a tour day and then gradually transfers responsibility to the freeriders. Further soft skills exercises provide a deeper insight into personal risk behaviour.

Level 2 is also about independent planning and action in order to be well-prepared to start your own undertakings according to the motto "perceive-assess-decide".
