The mountains in winter are beautiful and peaceful, but they can also be dangerous! Learn the techniques you need to rescue one or more avalanche victims using an avalanche transceiver and become a hero for a day!
The winter mountains are fascinating for their beauty and tranquillity, but they can also be a demanding environment where every decision counts. Through the ‘Avalanche Mission: Avalanche Transceiver Test’ activity, the Mountain Nature Centre offers a practical and educational immersion into safety in snowy environments.
Participants learn about the mechanisms of avalanches, the right reflexes to adopt and the crucial issues involved in mountain rescue. The emphasis is on the importance of preparation and responsiveness when one or more people are buried under the snow.
Then it's time for a simulation. Equipped with an avalanche transceiver, participants learn search, location and rescue techniques, just like professional rescuers. Guided step by step, they learn to work as a team, analyse the terrain and act effectively within a limited time frame.
This immersive and engaging activity provides a better understanding of the risks of winter mountains while teaching essential safety basics. It's a real-life mission that allows participants to become everyday heroes for the duration of the activity.
