Avalanche Training Center Mammut -  Zinal

Mammut Avalanche Training Center in Sorebois

Zinal

Located in the Zinal sector, Mammut Avalanche Training Center allows those who love skiing, off-piste skiing and hiking to test how they handle avalanche victim detection equipment (AVD) in conditions that closely mirror reality.

Perched at 2500m above sea level in the Grimentz-Zinal ski area, the Mammut Avalanche Training Center is designed for off-piste skiers and hikers who want to learn how to use an avalanche transceiver (ATC) in a realistic simulated situation.
In 2002, Grimentz-Zinal launched the world's first ATC, opening up a partially secured freeride area.
While the Zinal Avalanche Training Center helps to better manage this risk, prevention and training for hikers and freeriders remain essential in the face of an unstable snowpack.

To organize a course, please contact the Swiss Ski School or the Guide Bureau.
