Situated at 1900 m, close to the
Marmottons chairlift, an area of 3 hectares reproduces the environment
of an avalanche accident. This permits the users to train with an avalanche
transceiver / DVA.
It’s as easy as this !
A box, connected by three plugs, allows the user to operate (from a
distance) as many as 11 fake DVA which are held in a rucksack protected
with foam.
This system allows the user to imagine these different scenarios :
one or many victims, close or far away, one or many rescuers, in a limited
time, by ski or by foot, etc.
It is important to remember that the sacks must be left buried. The
test is confirmed only with a probe !
Open to the public
It is possible to reserve the park each tuesday. A pisteur / ski patrol
will ensure the operation of the park for you. However it is necessary
to have a tranceiver / DVA and a probe. The shovel is not to be used
!
Information and reservation can be found the day before at the Poste
de Secours at Lognan 33(0)4 50 54 04 73. Avaibility can be limited by
these reservations.
