HÜFIFIRN 2027
SURVIVAL TRAINING
Survival Training on the Hüfifirn
Fri 12 – Sat 13 March 2027 (reserve date: Fri 19 – Sat 20 March 2027)
What do you do if, after an off-field landing or an incident in high mountains, you have to spend the night outside? At the Survival Training on the Hüfifirn you practise exactly that – with experienced mountain guides, with your own equipment and in a real environment.
SCHEDULE
Friday: Flight to the Hüfifirn with several helicopters. You then work in groups at the stations. In the evening everyone has dinner together at the Planura hut.
Night: You sleep either in the hut or outside – in a bivouac you build yourself.
Saturday: More stations, debriefing and return flight.
THE STATIONS
Crevasse rescue – Belaying, recovery and rope techniques on the glacier.
Bivouac – Building a shelter and spending a night in the snow.
Equipment – What belongs on board and in your backpack, and how do you use it properly?
Optional: a programme with Rega (being clarified).
LEAD
The mountain guides are led by Hans Rauner.
