A full week avalanche awareness, avalanche rescue and snowshoe leader course with instruction from BMG Guide “Cube” in French Grand Bornand Alps.
After spending a couple of days in the Austrian Alps (near Mayrhofen) doing the first two days of the Zillertal Berliner Höhenweg we were unexpectedly snowed off. We then hired a car and drove to Zernez in the Swiss National Park for a range of day walks from a self catering base.
