FAQ
What happens in case of bad weather?
We conduct the training as long as conditions allow for safe activity in the mountains. In case of very bad weather or high avalanche risk, we modify the program (more practical training in safe terrain, technical exercises, theoretical sessions). Safety is our top priority.
Can I arrive with my own car?
Yes — you can easily drive directly to the mountain hut.
Is it possible to rent equipment?
Yes. Avalanche safety kit (transceiver, probe, shovel), crampons, and ice axe – we have our own sets available for rent. Ski touring equipment – the rental shop is located 200 m from the hut. We arrange the reservation in advance. We also cooperate with Chilli Sport rental near Zakopianka road, where equipment can be rented on the way. Equipment rental must be booked in advance.

Rooms are available as 2, 3, and 4 person options. A single room is possible for an additional fee (upon prior arrangement).

Wspaniale spędzone 3 dni. Super klimatyczne miejsce. Bardzo przemyślany program zajęć, świetny instruktor i miejsce. Kurs, z którego wyniosłam co zakładam. Mogę polecić to szkolenie, ponieważ jest konkretne, a dzięki super atmosferze staje się dodatkowo wspaniałą przygodą. Ja “połknęłam bakcyla” na pewno skitury pozostaną ze mną.

Duża dawka wiedzy teoretycznej poparta szkoleniem praktycznym w terenie. Po kursie jestem w stanie lepiej oceniać zagrożenie lawinowe, wybierać lepiej ścieżki podejścia i zjazdu. No i przede wszystkim posługiwać się lawinowym ABC. Ponad to Kralova Hola to świetna lokalizacja, idealna na całodniową turę z przyjemnymi zjazdami dla bardziej zaawansowanych i łagodnym zjazdem dla mnie wprawionych. Przemiła atmosfera, szkoleniowcy posiadają ogromną wiedzę a przy tym to bardzo sympatyczne osoby. Polecam serdecznie to szkolenie!
