Military personnel from different NATO nations gather at the center to exchange knowledge and develop common approaches to mountain operations and combat techniques.
Visitors should prepare for cold and changing mountain conditions, as training takes place throughout the year. The location is remote and requires planning for access, situated in an isolated alpine region.
The center uses the natural mountain environment around it for realistic military training in snow and ice conditions. This setting allows soldiers to experience genuine alpine challenges during their preparation.
