WOMEN FREERIDE AND TOURING CAMPS

Our girls’ camps are all about shared experiences and learning and improving in an all-female group. Among women it’s just more relaxed, there’s not the urge to outdo each other, it’s more about pushing each other, motivating each other and having fun freeriding. Women on skis and snowboards often underestimate themselves, don’t want to hold others up and therefore quickly feel stressed. For this reason, many women’s concerns in mixed groups are not that they will fall or hurt themselves, but that they will be too slow and hold up the group, especially the male participants. The thought that others would have to wait for them is often enough to make women feel less confident and therefore unable to develop further in winter sports. Our lead guide Sabine Schipflinger speaks here from her many years of experience in the guiding segment. Women in the backcountry feel more comfortable expanding their skills among themselves and learning something new without worrying about whether they are good enough. Among women, there is more tolerance, less pressure to perform, and support for learning new skills and abilities. That’s why we only use female guides at these events, who will work with you on your skills. So you can enjoy the mountains stress-free and without pressure to perform and make progress along the way. The main focus of our girls camps is always clearly on the experience. Be casual descents from mountain peaks, or lonely runs in the backcountry. However, safety is never neglected and the tours are adapted to the conditions so that the risk is minimized.
