Avalanche awareness course


In light of the recent avalanches that have ocurred in the area the last few weeks, we are holding an avalanche awareness and snow safety class.
The course is taught by Fernando Armani and Bicho Fioirenza, both local mountain guide instructors in Bariloche. The course consists of 4 Friday classes, from 7 to 10pm and covers snowpack assessment, route selection, mountain weather, etc. It is taught in Español.
If you would like more information, please contact Maria at info@spanishinthemountains.com.
