Introduction to snow safety (2 hours)

A condensed training where we introduce you to the necessary safety gear related to off-piste skiing and ski touring. We also deal with sending the alert, as well as an avalanche-search procedure with the individual safety pack (transceiver-shovel-probe).

The main goals of this course:

Your professional mountain guide will introduce you to the appropriate behavior in case of an avalanche: presentation of the safety pack (transceiver-shovel-probe), what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

A short scenario and research practice will help you learn to deal with this situation and use the gear you should always have when you go off piste.
