4 tips to go ski touring safely

1. Study the map

This is where it all starts. Use the Suunto app and FATMAP to study the area, get familiar with the mountain and look for insights indicating a safety-oriented route. With the 3D maps on the Suunto app, it is even easier to visualize the situation, potential difficulties and how to bypass them.

Ski-touring heatmaps available on the Suunto app help in listing pratice areas, finding easy and accessible starting points (i.e parking lots) and the right route.
