Have you ever been in situations where it was touch and go?
And NOW you want to understand how to make decisions FOR or AGAINST a run in the backcountry?
Then check in with your crew NOW for one of the Level 1 / Session dates for the coming risk'n'fun winter.
The programme focuses on freeride strategies for epic days in the mountains and accompanies snowboarders and skiers from off-piste skiing to high alpine, snow- and ice-covered areas. Experienced mountain guides and trainers will help you make smart decisions – whether you should dare to make a descent or rather skip it – in open terrain.
The most important thing for us? That you experience unforgettable days in the mountains, with the perfect balance of risk and fun.
And that you can argue for yourself why you do or don't do something.
risk’n’fun is the perfect combination of great days in the mountains and lots of learning. You gain the skills and confidence to enjoy the mountains on your own – whether in winter or summer on your bike.
And YES – risk'n'fun also means countless stories, new friendships, and intense days in nature – shredding and powdering. You can be sure that your range of action will be greater after LEVEL 1 / Session, and you will see the mountains with different eyes.
So: check your calendar, take a few days off, and join us! Good training takes time – and we take that time.
Preview Winter 2026
- LOCALS DAYS - For all shred kids aged 10 to 16
- DROP IN DAYS Every year, shortly before Christmas, we kick off the DROP IN Days, where freeriders head into the mountains together with mountain guides and trainers. Participants refresh their knowledge of emergency equipment, work with avalanche reports and practise important techniques for the backcountry.
- LEVEL 1 / SESSION Starting in January, the programme continues with four consecutive training levels that take freeriders step by step from skiing in powder near the slopes to high-alpine adventures. The central principle is: ‘observe – assess – decide’. Snowboarders and skiers acquire the necessary knowledge and technical skills to make safe and confident decisions in the mountains. The aim is to broaden their horizons while strengthening their awareness of themselves, the team and the mountain environment.
The training courses take place in top areas such as Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, Kühtai, Hochkönig, Tauplitz, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, and Kitzsteinhorn.
The combination of hard and soft skills – it's not just about avalanche transceiver search, but there is also a specific focus on soft skills, which is something you rarely see in a programme of this kind and intensity. In my opinion, HOW we approach things makes a big difference. And the focus is always on people, which certainly makes a big difference. All participants, whether children, teenagers or adults, are invited to make their own decisions. It's not just a case of listening and then putting it into practice at home; situations are deliberately created in which participants can take action themselves. You get practice and routine in the course setting and can then apply and implement what you have learned in your own practice with greater confidence.
For me, risk'n'fun means days outdoors with the perfect mix of learning and shredding. The experience is hard to describe – you just have to try it for yourself. ;)
For me, risk'n'fun stands out thanks to its professional mountain guides and trainers. The training is very thorough and practical. The focus is always on knowledge transfer, and the programme is definitely not geared towards profit maximisation. I find the risk'n'fun spirit unique – very empathetic and never arrogant. You immediately feel comfortable and valued. The focus is on the participants and not on their own social media presence.
The mix of different age groups and the progressive training levels at risk'n'fun are unique. Everyone learns with and from each other, so the different ages of the skiers and snowboarders don't matter. Because it's about a common theme that brings everyone together. And then, of course, there is the continuous development of the programme, ensuring that we do not stand still, seeking feedback from participants and then critically discussing within the team what can be done or needs to be removed for the following year. This is what keeps the programme alive. And yes – the price-performance ratio makes a difference for students and young people when training is affordable. They really benefit from it!
