At the Dachstein Glacier, an ORTOVOX TRAINING PARK and an avalanche transceiver checkpoint (LVS checkpoint) are now available. These innovative facilities offer hands-on training opportunities and enable reliable functionality checks of safety equipment.
Ski touring and freeriding in alpine terrain are fascinating experiences that allow you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the winter mountains. With a wide range of marked ski touring routes and challenging off-piste trails, the Dachstein Glacier offers ideal conditions for both.
Safety is the top priority: At the Dachstein Glacier, the ORTOVOX TRAINING PARK and LVS CHECKPOINT are available for your use. These innovative facilities provide realistic training scenarios and ensure that your safety gear is functioning properly.
Realistic training for emergency situations
Anyone venturing into unsecured terrain should regularly practice using their emergency equipment. The new ORTOVOX TRAINING PARK at Dachstein enables realistic avalanche search training without any risk. The permanently installed facility is located at the start of the Hallstatt Glacier in the direction of Seethalerhütte and is easily accessible. In an area measuring 80 x 80 m, transmitters are buried to simulate avalanche rescues with varying levels of difficulty (1–6 buried victims). The system is compatible with all standard avalanche transceivers.
Ortovox Checkpoint: Reliable transceiver check
A functioning avalanche transceiver is essential for safe travel in open terrain. The ORTOVOX CHECKPOINT offers a quick and reliable way to check whether your transceiver is switched on and transmitting correctly. A visual and acoustic signal provides feedback on the device’s functionality as you pass by. The checkpoint is installed near the Dachstein mountain station and helps ensure that winter sports enthusiasts are well-prepared before heading into the backcountry.
Both facilities are available free of charge!
