Ski route: Flida

The piste and rescue service only monitors and controls the marked and open freeride routes and pistes. Outside of operating hours, the freeride routes and pistes are closed and not secured against dangers such as avalanche blasting or piste machines with winches!

Outside the pistes or when they are closed, as a ski tourer you are in the free ski area and must take appropriate precautions. This includes assessing alpine hazards, reading and applying the avalanche report, and having and being able to use avalanche equipment. Because even in a closed ski area, avalanches can occur.

The question of the right equipment for ski routes is not easy to answer! It depends on the season and weather conditions, as well as on the type and duration of the route. Furthermore, the difficulty, altitude, and other factors must be considered! Basically: as little as possible, as much as necessary!
