LVS Test- & Trainingcenter

Time is running out, air is running out! A maximum of 15 minutes remain to bring a buried person to the surface alive. Therefore every action and every detail has to be perfect so that you react correctly and not too late. Almost everyone has an avalanche transceiver with them, but who can use it properly in an emergency? Using avalanche transceivers requires some practice. In this intensive training course we show in theory and practice how to optimally use safety equipment in an emergency. 20 years of avalanche transceiver experience and test centers flows into the training. The latest rescue material: avalanche transceiver devices, shovels, probes and airbag backpacks supplied by Arva, ABS, BCA, Mammut, Pieps and Ortovox can be tested extensively. Theory in the morning followed by intensive afternoon training in the terrain. Putting into practice what you have learned under the supervision and guidance of a UIAA-certified mountain and ski guide. The aim is not to sell equipment, but to offer participants a platform to find their perfect equipment, which can then be purchased in specialist sports shops. Of course, there is also the opportunity to get optimal training in theory and practice for the equipment you have already purchased.

The avalanche transceiver training and test center is located directly at Hühnersteign, just below the toll station on the glacier road. The training area is close by. All avalanche burial scenarios can be practiced using a state-of-the-art computer controlled system. The training starts at 9:00 am in the Hühnersteign mountain hut. The introduction to the search strategy and avalanche transceiver devices is followed by a lunch break. Afterwards the participants head to the training terrain for intensive training units. Each participant also receives a training certificate.
