Off-piste is an adventure! A certain knowledge of the weather, the state of the snowpack and a previously thought-out route is essential. Knowing how to protect yourself and rescue someone are two other skills to develop as well. Check out our explanatory video to help in the event of an avalanche.
Off-piste safety training is important, but the choice of equipment when skiing outside ski areas is also important.
