You will learn how to use an AVD (avalanche victim detector) and we will carry out avalanche rescue practices. You will learn to carry out a practical search for an avalanche victim with DVA (Arva), from its location, probing and unearthing.
We will also review basic safety concepts in the winter mountains such as the avalanche danger bulletin, actions in the event of an accident, RECCO…
You’ll learn:
- Understand how a DVA works
- Search practices with DVA
- Rapid Probing and Digging Techniques
- Protocol in case of accident in the snow
- Review of basic interpretation contents of the Avalanche Danger Bulletin
Training opens the doors of access to new adventures. It is not a simple guided tour, it is about complementing the concepts of our course “Avalanche risk management, online part of STA1” or those learned from our own experience.
