Program for the weekend

Friday – Arrival and mountain atmosphere

Tracked vehicle into Tyinholmen. Check-in, dinner and a nice get-to-know-you round.
We go through the weekend's schedule and lay the foundation for educational days in the mountains.

Saturday – Learning in practice

Shared breakfast and packed lunch before we start with some theory in the fireplace room.
Then we head straight out into the high mountain terrain for practical learning. The course is very practical – you will practice, know, evaluate and experience.

After an active day in the mountains, a warm sauna awaits those who wish, and a delicious, home-cooked meal. Here, professional refreshments are combined with a genuine high mountain atmosphere.

Sunday – Decisions and safe driving

We will continue with more practical training and in-depth study before the course ends at approximately 12:00.

Want to extend your weekend with an extra ski trip? You have access to a sauna and shower before your return trip.
