“I highly recommend the WEMountain training to all mountain lovers and to anyone who wants to fully enjoy the environment while being able to recognize the dangers around them. The online training is both fun and informative. It perfectly lays the foundation for a day in the outdoors. The in-person day is also an opportunity to meet great people and test your knowledge in the field. Thanks to the entire team for your wonderful work and the passion you share!”

“Just a quick note to say that I’ve completed your training and really enjoyed it. As someone living in London and not immersed in the mountains daily, I learned a lot. I found it very interesting that the course places so much emphasis on human decision-making and its influence. It all makes perfect sense now, but it wasn’t what I was expecting. I’m really looking forward to putting all of this into practice during my Haute Route attempt in a few weeks.”

“You can never know too much when it comes to risk management, and you’re never fully up to date either. With WEMountain, I can review effectively at the start of the season and challenge my perception of my practice throughout the winter.”

"As a participant in the Grande Patrouille des Glaciers 2024, WEMountain's online training has enhanced my understanding of the mountains, focusing on risk situations and explaining how to avoid them. For me, the safest avalanche is the one that doesn't happen. Taking an avalanche course every year, this training is not just a theoretical refresher but provides a solid foundation of essential knowledge."

"I thought I knew the safety rules quite well. This course is so much more than just a 'refresh' of my knowledge; it's a valuable manual for risk avoidance. I recommend it to all those who wish to pursue their passion for the mountains with greater peace of mind."

“This WEMountain course is very engaging, thanks to its modular approach and the use of various media such as videos, animations, and quizzes. Even though I felt I already knew quite a bit about the subject, I learned important things about human factors, and as for the rest, a review never hurts… In short, I loved it!”
