Introduction to snow safety

The professional mountain guides of the Méribel Mountain Guide Office offer you two new and original activities to improve your knowledge of the snow-covered coat, to get to know the mechanisms of avalanche triggering and to practice the rescue techniques.

If you enjoy off-piste skiing (and/or ski touring) and the mountains in winter conditions, these trainings are made for you.

You can chose between:

  • 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).
  •  A whole day in the Méribel resort, to help you improve your rescue skills and ski in a safer manner when you’re freeriding on your own. Management of group in off-piste skiing, sending the alarm, avalanche case scenario and practice, analysing the the snow-covered coat, triggering mechanisms… an intense and meaningful day !
