Responsibility and co-responsibility on guided trips and courses

Participation in outdoors sports and activities involves a certain level of risk for accident and injury. The safety of clients during our guided trips and courses is under the responsibility of the guide/instructor. The guides and instructors are obliged to follow our safety routines. To minimize the risk involved Tindeguide uses highly qualified and trained guides and instructors. Risk reduction also implies adjusting the trip level according to the prerequisites of the group (fitness level, technical skills, experience, equipment, etc.). If you are uncertain on your own skill level, you must ask the organizer.
