NivoTest on line

In collaboration with

Nivotest on line is the electronic version of Météorisk's NivoTest. This tool can be used to assess the approximate avalanche danger level using a set of criteria which can be observed on the terrain.
On the list below, check the criteria which matched the situation you found. The figure nest to each one is an indication of the importance (weight) of the criterion in the final assessment. It is given for your information. To find out more about NivoTest.
