Training in the Mountain Rescue Tyrol has continued to develop over the decades and has become increasingly comprehensive. After all, it is essential that every member of a rescue team is fully trained. In an emergency, anyone can very quickly find themselves in situations that demand the full potential of their knowledge and skills. Everyone must be able to rely on the others and trust them unconditionally.
Thats why standardised and comprehensive training is the basis of Mountain Rescue Tyrol.
regional power
Mountain Rescue Tyrol is organised as a large association to which the 91 local offices belong. The local offices are divided regionally according to geographical relevance. The density of the local teams ensures that no unnecessary time is wasted on long journeys and that the respective rescue teams know their area down to the last corner. However, this should not obscure the size of the operational areas. For example, there are places with far fewer than 500 inhabitants, but associated operational areas of 250-300 square kilometres.
