ANENA training: avalanche rescue (Savoie)

Description

In partnership with the ANENA (National Association for the Study of Snow and Avalanches), I offer this training course with the objective of acquiring good practices and becoming autonomous in avalanche rescue. It is for anyone who wants to evolve in a snowy environment, snowshoeing, ski touring or off-piste skiing.

This day takes place in Savoie, in the Beaufortain massif, in Beaufort-sur-Doron or Hauteluce.

After this course, you will be able to organize an avalanche victim rescue with your group and to manage a simple multi-victims avalanche situation.

• Carry and assemble your equipment with efficiency.
• Participate in the group's avalanche beacons search and rescue test.
• Use the basic functions of your avalanche beacon.
