Avalanche Safety Training Courses & Equipment Sales

Given La Grave's off-piste reputation, comprehensive avalanche safety training is paramount. Various independent guides and specialized schools offer courses ranging from introductory (DVA/ARVA, shovel, probe usage) to advanced snowpack analysis and rescue techniques. These typically run for 1-3 days during winter, with costs from 150-400 EUR. Several local shops also specialize in selling state-of-the-art avalanche safety equipment, including transceivers, airbags, probes, shovels, and associated electronics, ensuring visitors are well-prepared for the challenging terrain. Operating hours generally align with the winter ski season.
