A Closer Look at Our Services

Security

The DSV Ski Patrol, in cooperation with the Mountain Rescue Service, ensures safety on ski slopes and cross-country trails. It takes a preventive approach and supports the planning and maintenance of winter sports facilities—with a focus on safety and environmental sustainability. ASU Ski, our analysis center, investigates the causes of accidents and provides the basis for tailored preventive measures—to enhance safety at all levels of skiing.

SNOW TOMORROW

Sustainability is an integral part of our innovative work. Together with experts, we develop sustainable strategies and implement concrete measures for a sustainable future of skiing on behalf of and in collaboration with DSV, SNBGER, and FdS.

Knowledge & Education

We promote targeted education and training—in schools, classes, and courses. Our “Ski&Berge Wissen” program and other specialized media effectively and clearly convey information related to safety and the environment.

Participation & Access

For over 40 years, we have been organizing inclusive ski camps for children and teens with disabilities—supervised by the DSV Ski Patrol. Winter sports for everyone are a tangible expression of inclusion. Through outdoor camps for school groups, we promote education for sustainable development—and provide access to nature and physical activity.

 

Dialogue & International Cooperation

Together with national ski associations and the FIS, we promote international exchange and foster innovation and the further development of safety standards worldwide.
