UCPA was born to make it possible for young generations to have access to outdoor activities. It was founded in 1965 as the result of the fusion of two associations one of them being the National Union of Mountain Resorts (Union Nationale des centres de montagne) at the instigation of Maurice Herzog who was then Secretary of State to Youth and sport. During its 47 years of existence, UCPA hasn’t stopped evolving to fulfil new generations’ aspirations while pursuing its engagement to promote accessibility to outdoor activities such as mountaineering and alpinism. Its pedagogy was built on the ambition to encourage autonomy and responsibility in order to trigger self-fulfillment inside a group.

ABS – The Avalanche Airbag. The most efficient avalanche emergency system in the world. It doesn’t matter how careful one is – to release a slap of snow or get caught in an avalanche away from the patrolled pistes is a realistic risk for everyone. In order to dig out a victim buried under an average snow depth of one meter requires at least ten minutes – plus the time required for probing and locating the victim. Statistically the chance for survival of completely buried victims already rapidly decreases after 15 minutes. This is the reason why 50 % of these victims have not been rescued alive. The ABS Avalanche Airbag generally prevents burial. That is why experts recommend it along with a transceiver, shovel and probe as the optimal rescue equipment.
