Avalanche safety course

At Mountain Specialists, safety is the number one priority, always. For a correct approach to off-piste skiing, whether you are with an instructor, guide, or with your friends, you must wear an avalanche transceiver and carry a backpack containing a probe and a shovel. The most important aspect, though, is to know how to use them. Our experts will guide you through this life saving course that will inform your skiing experience forever, starting with basic knowledge on our level 1 course, proceeding to the more advanced and detailed training in level 2. Getting to know the snow and the mountain will lower your chances of being involved in an accident or causing harm to others. We will train how to react in case of an emergency, and teach you skills which can save yours or someone else’s life.
