Acquire the necessary know-how, for example with the help of avalanche and snow profile courses, to be able to enjoy your powder skiing fun as safely as possible. The right equipment is also essential for freeriding. Avalanche transceivers, shovels and other special equipment ensure maximum safety on ski routes and in the powder.
Freeride routes are often safe off-piste areas that have been created along the course of former ski lifts or former slopes. The Freeride Info Base in Sportgastein and at the Schlossalm goes one step further. The information and guidance system ensures safe backcountry fun and makes the freeride experience accessible for all different levels of ability.
At the transceiver station you can also rehearse under real conditions and prepare yourself for a freeride experience. At the two valley stations “Weltcuparena Zauchensee” and “Highport Flachauwinkl” you can test on your own equipment as to whether your avalanche transceiver is working properly!


Risk minimisation plays an important role off the slopes. So, powder fans beware, at all designated INTERSPORT Rent locations in Ski amadé you can reserve and rent your avalanche transceiver safety equipment by phone or directly in the shop. Rental of an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel and freeride backpack (WITHOUT ABS).
The best thing would be to book your local Freeride guide at one of the specialised ski schools for the highest possible safety in the backcountry of Ski amadé.
