Avalanche equipment

The shovel is ideal for demanding tours and professional use. A large blade, long telescopic handle, and comfortable asymmetrical grip allow you to scoop large amounts of snow with every stroke. The oval handle profile is particularly robust, and operating the telescopic extension is fully intuitive. Thanks to the Quick Lock function, the handle can be easily attached to the robust anodized aluminum shovel blade. The shovel blade is thin and has a sharp edge, making it work well even in hard snow. It is suitable for digging snow profiles, compression avalanche tests, or building igloos. The time spent digging in an avalanche is usually many times longer than searching with an avalanche transceiver. By using the shovel, you can shorten this time somewhat. When digging in powder snow, the volume of the shovel is important. But when digging in hard snow, which is usually what an avalanche deposit is, the shovel's durability also matters. The ORTOVOX SHOVEL PRO GUIDE blade is made of anodized hardened aluminum, which guarantees durability and a long service life.
