Avalanche training for Sherpas is very important to improve the knowledge of the Sherpas to judge the local avalanche situation and thus to\u00a0reduce accidents with avalanches in the Himalaya.<\/p>\n
In March 2017 we started with a one day course for Sherpas to get an introduction to the basics of avalanche training.
\nIn January 2018 we organized an other introduction course in Kathmandu followed by 3 days of practical training in a hut in the mountains for the sherpas who had visited the introduction course in 2017.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Introduction of the\u00a0Swiss Sherpa Foundation and its mission and with that the invitaiton to the Sherpas\u00a0to provide ideas for new projects<\/li>\n
- During a one day course, the participants acquire fundamental skills and basic knowledge required to carry out the risk management process, implement rescue procedures and use rescue equipment.<\/li>\n
- After finalizing a test\u00a0(Multiple-Choice) each participant got an\u00a0\u201eISTA-Certificate\u201c including a registration number with ISTA.<\/li>\n
- At the end of the day the participants receive an ISTA-Booklet (International Snow Training Academy), which describes\u00a0the avalanche emergency procedure.<\/li>\n
- Practical training in the Himalaya region in Nepal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
