Sports - Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland
Despite the increasing number of backcountry recreationists, training opportunities, both in Switzerland and abroad, vary from country to country and mainly cater to advanced amateurs and professionals. ISTA's training program is intended for the general public and is delivered by affiliated instructors and guides. The goal is not to provide extra equipment, but rather the knowledge and skills required to assess and prevent risk.Inspired by the model of the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), ISTA offers a progressive international certification. Over 40 experts spanning 9 countries and 3 continents in the areas of education, sport psychology, transfer of knowledge, nutrition, meteorology, snow science, risk management and rescue methods, as well as mountain guides and ski instructors, were involved in the development of this unprecedented project in this fast-growing and increasingly exposed sector. Two modules are currently being covered - Discovery and ST1. The courses are supported by illustrated books featuring simple, clear, precise and playful descriptions, available in 4 languages (EN, FR, DE, IT).
