The KAT creates and revises learning and teaching materials for avalanche accident prevention. In so doing, it aims to promote a uniform approach to avalanche training across Switzerland. The KAT also ensures that there are enough professional, qualified and recognised instructors available for avalanche training for mountain sports associations and institutions.
