Copahue Backcountry & Avalanche Camp \u2013 Hut Based<\/strong> was created to develop this discipline through real, hands-on experience. Over four days, you\u2019ll live in the mountains, continuously combine theory and practice, and build concrete tools to move with greater safety and better judgment in the backcountry.<\/p>\n

The methodology blends a prior virtual classroom, on-site theory sessions, and daily field outings\u2014maximizing time on snow and the quality of learning. Each day follows a progressive process: learn, apply, and analyze.<\/p>\n

The hut-based format adds something key: more time in the mountains, better decision-making, and better riding. Full comfort in the mountains, with accommodation and special meals prepared by our chef.<\/p>\n

This camp is designed for skiers and snowboarders with off-piste experience who want to take it a step further. Familiarity with touring equipment (skins, transitions) and a solid level in off-piste riding are required.<\/p>\n

Share the experience with other riders, learn in real terrain, and take away tools that will change how you move in the mountains.<\/p>\n

Expected outcomes by the end of the camp:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2705 Understand the fundamentals of avalanche formation and dynamics

\u2705 Apply practical decision-making tools
