New this year is Chamonix Experience AIARE Avalanche Course. This 3 day course covers the fundamentals of avalanche hazard management, avalanche rescue and decision making in avalanche terrain.

At its core, this Level 1 course is designed to help you build a framework for making decisions in avalanche terrain.  We will combine classroom and field sessions to build the tools you need to plan and execute a day in avalanche terrain.  This will include utilizing weather and avalanche resources, making field snowpack observations, understanding the pitfalls of human decision making patterns, and implementing route and terrain selection options. This course is a must for all skiers, snowboarders, alpinists and anyone spending time in avalanche terrain.

AIARE qualified IFMGA mountain guide Miles Smart will be leading these courses and cost for three days including course materials and avalanche gear is 270€.
