Health

Pure mountain air and the stimulating alpine climate provide recuperation for body and soul:

• Stimulation of the metabolism
• Positive effect on the psyche
• Higher calorie consumption through several hours of sporting activity

The essential prerequisites for optimal health benefits:

• Physical training - gymnastics, mountain walks, ...
• The correct choice of individual skiing technique
• Measured curves with large radii
• Ski run speeds and duration, which match the standard of fitness
• Avoidance of extremly hilly or icy slopes

Individual health benefits depend on accurate self-assessment

• How fit am I?
• How good a skier am I?
• How experienced am I in the mountains?
• Is my equipment in order?

Skiing, from classic downhill to the new variations, is a popular sport with low injury risks:

• The danger of injury is no greater than in the case of volleyball or tennis
• The injury quota lies within a range of just a few per thousand skiers
• Snowboarders are no more prone to injury than skiers
• Fitness and recuperation, or accidents and injury, are generally the result of the correct or incorrect behaviour of the individual skier

Health and more, the social ranking of ski sport

• 75% of skiers ski in groups
• Enjoyment in the company of people with similar attitudes, the communication of experience and personal recognition, all contribute to relaxation and genuine recuperation.
• Mountain and ski sports offer young people important opportunities for the experience of nature and self-discovery, important preconditions for the development of the social personality
