Höhenangst-Training Skitouren Urnerboden

Di cosa si tratta

The Ski Touring Training for Fear of Heights is designed for winter sports enthusiasts who feel limited in the mountains by their fear of heights but already have a solid foundation in technique and fitness. This is not a beginner’s ski course, but rather a psychologically and technically guided training program to help you overcome your fear of heights, so you can enjoy your ski tours without fear in the future. The goal isn’t the summit—it’s overcoming your fears and mental blocks. Welcome, fellow mountaineer. We’re glad you’ve found your way to our Glarnerland Alpine School and, by extension, to these beautiful mountains. Here, between the mountains and the valley, there is so much to discover. Together with other mountaineers and our mountain guides, we’d love to take you on an adventure. To ensure you’re fully prepared for the training, you’ll find the most important information here. Who This Training Is For You’re an experienced ski tourer who already goes on ski tours regularly. You’re in good shape, and climbing 1,000 meters in elevation is no problem for you. However, making kick turns on steep slopes, navigating narrow forest passages, or traversing narrow ridges trigger anxiety or a sense of being stuck. You want to learn specific techniques to overcome your fear at key points and enjoy your ski tours without fear in the future. Notes from the high-altitude coaches: We strongly recommend refraining from any use of anti-anxiety medications or similar sedative substances. If you’re still unsure whether this training is right for you given the severity of your fears and mental blocks, please contact us by phone. Day 1: Travel to the starting point at Tödi Sport in Glarus. After a gear check, we’ll continue by bus from the Alpine School to Urnerboden. Brief check-in at the “NaTuri” lodge. After a good cup of coffee and a quick round of introductions, we’ll focus on understanding fear of heights, paying particular attention to your personal triggers. Following the theoretical introduction to the topic of fear of heights, we’ll review the most important basics of ski touring: handling ski touring equipment, using avalanche transceivers, etc. Day 2: Walking time without breaks approx. 4 hours, ascent max. 800 meters elevation gain After a hearty breakfast, you’ll get ready for the ski tour. There are several options starting from Urnerboden. The tour destination will be announced shortly before the course begins, as soon as snow and weather conditions are clear. During the ski tour, we’ll use techniques to help you overcome your mental blocks or fears. The altitude coach and the mountain guide are committed to providing you with mental support and ensuring your safety at all times. Meeting Point We’ll meet at 1:00 p.m. at the starting point of the Glarnerland Alpine School at Tödi Sport, Hauptstrasse 41, Glarus. If you need to rent equipment or have made a reservation, please be on site by 12:30 p.m. (30 minutes earlier) to pick up your gear.
