This four-day course provides basic avalanche training for outdoor work in mountain environments.

The training consists of both theoretical sessions and practical outdoor activities. Topics include 
  • Avalanche and weather forecasts 
  • Dasic snowpack observations 
  • Snow stability assessments
  • Search and rescue 
  • Reporting avalanche occurrences and accidents

Note that this course requires training in first aid equivalent to at least three days, including CPR and hypothermia. Participants should also have practised transceiver searches before the course.
