FAQ

The Freeride Days Engelberg are a multi-day event aimed at freeriders and ski tourers of all skill levels. In addition to the opportunity to test the latest equipment, the event offers various workshops led by experienced guides and professionals. Participants have the chance to improve their skills, learn new techniques and exchange ideas with like-minded people.

Of course, all our mountain guides speak German, English and some even Swedish. Only French is a bit tricky...

Our English may not be 100% perfect, but we are real pros at guiding and teaching in English. And hey, if a joke gets lost, we just blame it on the language barrier - after all, laughter is international! 😄

Yes, if you have a splitboard, that's a good idea. We will form a separate boarder group if possible. (if enough people are interested). The ski technique part can only be adapted to the snowboard technique if there are enough snowboarders (separate group). Otherwise you can take part in the same program as a boarder.

When forming groups for workshops and tours, we take your ability and experience into account. The aim is to create homogeneous groups in which all participants have similar requirements and goals. This ensures an optimal and safe learning experience. Attention is also paid to skiing or snowboarding preferences and language skills in order to facilitate communication within the group.

Your safety comes first. In the event of bad weather, such as heavy snowfall, poor visibility or high avalanche risk, the workshops will be adjusted accordingly. This may mean relocation to another area in the Engelberg Valley or a change to the program.

If the event cannot take place due to weather conditions, you will be informed in good time.
