Advanced avalanche course
In a complex and challenging terrain such as the Sunnmøre Alps, knowledge of the snowpack is necessary for safe travel. Advanced avalanche courses are for those who seek a deeper understanding of the avalanche subject and want to be able to make independent assessments in varied terrain. The course's learning objective is to give the participants skills to navigate safer in the winter mountains and find the best snow!
