TOGETHER, AT THE HEART OF THE EFFORT LET'SMAKE THE MOUNTAINS SAFER!
Training partner of the Patrouille Des Glaciers
Alongside the legendary Patrouille des Glaciers (PdG), we support the ski mountaineering community in promoting safer and more responsible practices.
PdG and WEMountain share a belief: freedom in the mountains begins with knowledge.
Safety is the key to performance and enjoyment.
That is why we encourage all participants to train to become advocates for a safer mountain culture for everyone.
Let's work together to ensure safety in the mountains.
PdG and WEMountain join forces
Let's work together to make the mountains safer!
The Patrouille des Glaciers Foundation and WEMountain—the first international mountain training program combining e-learning and field courses—are joining forces with a clear goal: to reduce accidents, save lives, and place knowledge at the heart of ski mountaineering.
Because we share the same passion, we want this sport to remain committed, intense, and authentic, while also being safer. Freedom does not disappear with training; on the contrary, it depends on it.
They trust us
From local clubs to international federations, many organizations trust WEMountain to train their riders and strengthen their safety culture.

They talk about it better than we do.
“Because safety is the FWT's number one priority. There is simply no way this sport can develop without a robust global safety education program.”
“Because it's your life you're playing with, but also the lives of others. Stay humble, keep learning, and always question yourself.”
“Because I always like to learn the safety rules to follow on my playground! Taking these extra measures has allowed me to progress in backcountry skiing with complete peace of mind.”
“Because freeriding is about much more than technical skills. Don't underestimate the power of nature. The more you know and the more you train, the more fun everyone will have.”
“Since I absolutely want to continue skiing until I'm 80, I never underestimate training in the mountains.”
