SVELAV + Wilderness First Aid (WFA)

Combining avalanche safety and first aid training in Sweden & Norway

Avalanche courses cover risk management, avoiding burial scenarios, and rescue techniques. However, topics like post-rescue first aid or treating other backcountry injuries are only briefly touched upon, as these are more comprehensively addressed in wilderness first aid (WFA) courses.
Therefore, I have teamed up with Rescue 3 Norge to provide a combined SVELAV avalanche course and wilderness first aid (WFA) package. This provides participants with affordable access to standardised training in both avalanche safety and first aid. The courses include CPR and hypothermia training, which are prerequisites for the SVELAV Pro 1.

The WFA course is offered before each SVELAV Pro 1 and after each Friåkning 2 course. Friåkning 1 is available upon request.


Kombinationskurs lavinsäkerhet och Wilderness First Aid (WFA)

Skredkurs dekker risikohåndtering, unngåelse av begravelse og redningsteknikker. Imidlertid blir emner som førstehjelp etter redning eller behandling av andre skader i fjellet kun kort berørt, ettersom disse er mer grundig dekket i førstehjelpskurs for villmarken (WFA-kurs).
Derfor har jeg inngått samarbeid med Rescue 3 Norge for å tilby en kombinert pakke med SVELAV snøskredkurs og førstehjelpskurs for villmarken (WFA). Dette gir deltakerne tilgang til standardisert opplæring i både snøskredsikkerhet og førstehjelp for en moderat pris. Kursene inkluderer HLR og hypotermitrening, som er forutsetninger for SVELAV Pro 1.

WFA-kurset tilbys før hvert SVELAV Pro 1 og etter hvert Friåkning 2-kurs. Friåkning 1 er tilgjengelig på forespørse
