During these days our instructors are reminded by experts in the field of nivology (study of the snow), observation of the off-piste terrain, methodology in case of avalanche and reminder of the use of equipment.

An off-piste outing must be prepared in advance:

An avalanche transceiver (DVA), essential to find a person buried under the snow.

A shovel to dig and free a victim under the snow.

A probe to quickly find and evaluate the depth at which the skier is buried.

A smartphone so you can tell someone where you are going before you go out freeriding and never forget to charge your phone!

And don't forget an airbag with all of the above equipment to ensure a minimum of safety when off-piste. We will teach you how to use all the equipment before the trip.

The equipment is not the only thing that is important!

It is essential to consult the weather forecast and the BRA (Bullletin risque d'avalanche) before each outing.
If the weather is too bad, it is imperative to cancel the outing and postpone it.
Our instructors will never hesitate to turn back in case of unforeseen circumstances and also your physical condition.
Always respect a certain safety distance while not being too far away.
