Transceiver is an acronym for Device Research of Swept Away in Avalanche.

Each ski mountaineer, hiker or lover of freeriding that addresses land of adventure off the beaten track should always own one, know how to use and wear it while hiking. The transceiver is essentially a transceiver that operates on the signal frequency of 457 kHz. There are two basic positions in which should be used: a transmission and a reception. The device is used in transmission mode to be localized, and in receive mode to search for the missing. Whenever you activate it before any trip out of the track should be placed in transmit mode and worn, not kept in the backpack. The unit is switched to receive mode only in the research phase to locate other equipment located in transmission mode within the range of his reach in case of an avalanche. There are both analog and digital models, but all require specific skills to be used in a correct and useful. Remember to have the transceiver off, or do not know how to use it is ABSOLUTELY USELESS and will not save your life.

Dolomiti UNESCO, il bilancio di Banca d'Italia: +9% di pernottamenti senza consumare più territorio
Il paper di Banca d'Italia analizza gli effetti sui flussi turistici e sull'ambiente nei 4 anni successivi all'iscrizione delle Dolomiti nella lista dei Patrimoni Mondiali dell'Umanità, avvenuta nel 2009. A fronte di un incremento delle presenze, il numero di strutture turistiche non è cresciuto e quello di posti letto si è ridotto. Ai maggiori flussi turistici non si è associato né un aumento del consumo di suolo né una maggiore produzione di rifiuti, dimostrando il potenziale del riconoscimento UNESCO nel generare benefici economici locali senza compromettere la qualità ambientale, a condizione che siano in atto un efficace coordinamento istituzionale e solide garanzie normative.
