Off-road master class off-road

The off-road master class: advanced training in Obersontheim

Have you got the basics under con­trol? Then take the next step with us. In Ober­sont­heim (Baden-Würt­tem­berg), we have deve­lo­ped an exclu­si­ve high-end trai­ning cour­se that will make you fit for the pre­mier class. While our basic cour­se lays the foun­da­ti­on, this trai­ning pre­pa­res you to mas­ter even the most deman­ding and dif­fi­cult off-road tracks with con­fi­dence.

Due to its loca­ti­on in sou­thern Ger­ma­ny, the cour­se is ide­al­ly acces­si­ble for par­ti­ci­pan­ts from Ger­ma­ny, Aus­tria and Switz­er­land. All off-road vehic­les and SUVs with a reduc­tion gear, short first gear or modern elec­tro­nic con­trol can take part.

Important note: For maxi­mum ground cle­arance, trai­ler cou­plings and run­ning boards should be remo­ved in advan­ce. We train in all wea­thers — in extre­me wea­ther con­di­ti­ons we adapt the cour­se fle­xi­bly to ensu­re maxi­mum lear­ning suc­cess and safe­ty.
