SAFE! – Avalanche safety management in the field

Avalanche Education - Prevention

Adapted to current conditions and conducted in the field, we share our experiences with you regarding avalanche prevention. What decisions do we make today and why not others? Where is the best route for our planned line, and most importantly, why? What do I do if things don't go as planned? These and many other questions occupy our thoughts daily, and we are pleased to share our insights with you. High practical content.

Avalanche Education - Companion Rescue / First Aid

In case things go awry, we want to be prepared for emergencies. Even if you do everything right, you may need to assist in a difficult situation. Do you have full control of your avalanche transceiver (LVS) and can you act quickly enough under stress? Can you solve complex situations in a necessary amount of time?
