Freeriding

What is freeriding?
Freeriding is skiing or snowboarding through unspoilt snow away from marked and controlled ski pistes, mostly using lifts to travel up.

The most important thing is of course safety. Your guide will show you what to do on the mountain, how to use an avalanche transceiver, how to act in the event of an avalanche, how to rescue someone etc.

The term "freeriding" originate from the sport of snowboarding. Up until the 1990's skiers called freeriding off piste skiing.

The fascinating thing here is, to mark your feelings in the snow, with total freedom and amongst breathtaking nature. During such descents due to the rush of adrenalin you can experience extreme feelings of happiness, known as FLOW in freeride circles.
