Ski touring is booming. But hand on heart - who can claim to make rational decisions and act efficiently when a few minutes are essential for survival? This weekend we will train you intensively so that you can concentrate on the essentials when ski touring - having fun and enjoying the ski tour. Our base is the ideally located and excellently served Kreuzeckhaus.
Process:
Day 1:
We meet at the agreed meeting point and take the Kreuzeckbahn up to the Kreuzeck. Once at the top, we first take our superfluous things to the Kreuzeckhaus. Then it's finally time to go. We drive in the direction of the Osterfelderkopf and then away from the secured pistes. Here we start with an introduction to the ski touring and safety equipment. The focus of the action is the intensive training in how to use the often life-saving avalanche transceiver equipment. In addition to searching for an avalanche transceiver, the correct handling of the shovel and probe is particularly important, since in the case of a real burial the time until the avalanche victim is uncovered plays a key role. Finally, at the hut we end this eventful day with an insight into first aid in case of avalanche burial.
Day 2:
Today we want to put what we have learned into practice. So that we don't miss out on having fun, we include a realistic avalanche scenario with an individual slope assessment on our little ski tour. Each participant not only receives objective feedback, but also a avalanche transceiver certificate from our School (if wanted).
We will take care of the reservation at the Kreuzeckhaus for you!

The Kreuzeckhaus - your ideal base at 1,652 m
The Kreuzeckhaus is a central base for our courses in the Garmisch-Classic area - both in summer and winter. Thanks to its perfect location right next to the Kreuzeckbahn mountain station, it offers you an ideal starting point for your course.
Booking
We have already reserved your places in the Kreuzeckhaus for your booked course. You do not have to worry about booking accommodation - you only pay the costs for your overnight stay, snacks, half board and drinks on site.
Room allocation
We always reserve multi-bed rooms if they are available. At the Kreuzeckhaus this usually means accommodation in rooms for 2-3 people. If there are no more shared rooms available, we will book places in the dormitory as an alternative. The dormitories offer space for groups of 5 to 20 people.
Twin rooms are only available in exceptional cases. Rebooking to smaller rooms can only be checked on site and in consultation with the hut staff.
Please note: The final allocation of rooms is made by the hut staff. Changes may be necessary at short notice, over which we unfortunately have no influence.
Practical comfort for our guests
After the ascent with the Kreuzeckbahn, we leave our overnight luggage directly at the Kreuzeckhaus. So we start the course relaxed and with light luggage. For your convenience, we recommend that you store your overnight luggage separately in a small extra bag in your rucksack so that it only needs to be taken out of the rucksack when you arrive at the Kreuzeckhaus.
If there is enough snow down to the valley, the descent on the second day is of course also via the piste to the Kreuzeck parking lot. If your group skis down into the valley, please make sure that the additional overnight luggage is stowed in the rucksack. This gives you full freedom of movement and your equipment stays safely in place.
Prices & payment
Prices for your overnight stay and half board can be found under the following link: https://kreuzeckhaus.net/index.php/uebernachten/
At the Kreuzeckhaus you can pay amounts from € 15 conveniently by EC card. However, we recommend that you bring sufficient cash with you.
