Freeriding in Tyrol

Safety is essential when freeriding in Tyrol. Important measures include:

• Avalanche awareness: Knowledge of avalanche danger and avoidance is essential.
• Equipment: Carrying an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe is mandatory.
• Up-to-date information: Use of the "Avalanche Tirol" app for current warnings and weather conditions.
• Guided tours: Participation in freeride camps or tours with experienced guides increases safety.

These measures help to minimise risks and ensure a safe freeriding experience.

Tyrol hosts major freeride events, including the Freeride World Tour in Fieberbrunn:

• Freeride World Tour in Fieberbrunn: A highlight of the international freeride scene with spectacular descents on the Wildseeloder.
• Freeride Testival Hochfügen: One of the biggest freeride testivals in Europe with workshops, BBQs and plenty of powder snow.

These events offer freeriders the opportunity to socialise with like-minded people and test the latest equipment.

For tour planning and safety when freeriding in Tyrol, we recommend using the "Avalanche Tirol" app. It offers up-to-date avalanche reports, weather information and practical tools such as a compass, altimeter and slope inclinometer. It also sends avalanche reports as push notifications

This app is an indispensable companion for anyone travelling off-piste.
