OnTheMountain Pro takes the issues of the environment and of safety very seriously.

Our BASI GAP courses therefore include a full week with experienced Mountain Guide and Ski Patrol instructors, split into 3 modules:

Lectures
Comprehensive theory covering avalanche awareness, understanding clues to instability, route-finding and rescue, and a greater understanding of weather conditions and their effects.

Terrain
On-site training, using transceivers, snowpit analysis, how to be safe in
the mountains and responding to emergency situations.

Environment Awareness
Based on the teaching tools developed by Neige Aventure in collaboration with the BPA (Bureau for the Prevention of Accidents) and the WWF (World Wildlife Fund), this module provides an excellent foundation in environmental awareness – adding to personal development as well as being an integral part of teaching on the mountains.
