ANENA training: avalanche rescue (Maurienne, Savoie)

Description

I offer a one-day ANENA (Agence Nationale pour l'Étude de la Neige et des Avalanches) training course in the Maurienne valley in Savoie.

At the end of this course, you'll be able to :

• manage a simple multi-clearance avalanche situation (level 1),
• organize an avalanche rescue with your group (level 2).

During the day, you will acquire the knowledge and skills to :

• carry and assemble your equipment efficiently,
• organize the group's avalanche beacons test,
• use the basic functions of your avalanche beacon,
• deal with interference problems that disrupt and slow down the search,
• search for and locate one or more buried victims using your avalanche beacon,
• free a buried person using a specific technique,
• implement group procedures,
• alert rescue professionals,
• determine the strategy to adopt in a given situation,
• conduct the rescue operation,
• conduct a search in a multiple burial situation,
• welcome professional rescuers.

Throughout the winter, I also offer some great outings: snowshoe and fondue evenings in Albiez, trapper hikes in the Maurienne forests and snowshoe hikes at the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves.

Program

• 9am: Meet on the Place Opinel in Albiez-Montrond (73300), about an hour's drive from Chambéry or Albertville.

Depending on the day's weather, the timetable may be slightly changed with your consent, but the training content will be carried out in full.
