Avalanche Kit
An avalanche rescue kit is the essential safety equipment you should never go out into avalanche terrain without. The kit consists of an avalanche transceiver, avalanche shovel and avalanche probe – three life-saving tools that make it possible to quickly locate and extricate a person buried in an avalanche.
In avalanche situations, every second is crucial, and a complete avalanche kit makes the difference between life and death.
With us you will find carefully selected avalanche kits for beginners, experienced mountaineers and professional guides alike. All kits are put together to be easy to use, reliable in the cold and built to work in real mountain conditions .
Most avalanche kits contain the following three components:
A must for anyone who goes on a top trip or off-piste.
The:
sends a signal about your position
looking for others in an accident
has more antennas for increased precision
is simple and quick to use
Modern avalanche transmitters are developed to function even in complex terrain with multiple buried people.
The shovel is crucial once you have located a person.
Good avalanche shovels have:
metal blade for maximum durability
telescopic handle for power and reach
low weight with high strength
Digging is often the most time-consuming part of a rescue – the right shovel makes a huge difference.
The probe is used to precisely locate where a person is under the snow.
A good probe is:
easy and quick to assemble
stable even in hard-packed snow
clearly marked with measurements
long enough for deep avalanches
✔ everything you need in one solution
✔ the parts are compatible and matched in quality
✔ often more affordable than buying the parts separately
✔ perfect for new top tourers
✔ safe choice even for experienced riders who need to upgrade their equipment
An avalanche kit is the best start for safer skiing in the mountains and off-piste.
Avalanche equipment should always be worn by everyone in the group when:
✔ mountain tour (randonné)
✔ off-piste skiing beyond marked trails
✔ mountain tours in winter
✔ icefall climbing near avalanche terrain
✔ ski mountaineering tours
It is not enough for one person in the group to carry the equipment – everyone must have their own kit .
The avalanche kit is the base, but many choose to supplement with:
avalanche backpack with airbag
Windsock (we also rent it out!)
first aid kit
emergency drop with GPS/SOS function
snow profile equipment (for those who analyze snowpack)
Safety is based on knowledge, equipment and good decisions.
Choosing an avalanche kit can seem difficult – but we're happy to help.
We guide you through:
experience
type of terrain you will be riding in
whether you prioritize weight, simplicity or advanced features
how to combine kit with backpack and other equipment
