to learn the basics of mountain and forest survival !

What could be more appealing than discovering the natural environment in direct contact with the elements?

Azimut montagne offers a range of Forest and Mountain Survival (FMS) courses. It's a way of immersing yourself in our natural environment to share, live differently, learn and exchange; it's a return to Nature through courses (modules) that emphasise responsibility, individual inventiveness and personal involvement.


The modules offered are divided into three levels: basics, essentials and expertise. The aim is to recognise what has been learnt during one or more days of practical application.


Discover the basic modules that will enable you to become more autonomous as your adventures unfold. Rediscover your instincts !

Module 9:
Two days in the forest, test yourself!

If you're not yet familiar with how to spend the night under the stars, whatever the season, and you're reluctant to take the plunge, why not try it out and have some fun learning the basics of survival in the forest and mountains! Ages 7 to 77.
