Safety first in the mountains: the self-rescue kit

Safety in the mountains always comes first. If you love traveling off-piste, ski touring, or freeriding in fresh powder, the kit consisting of an avalanche beacon, shovel, and probe is not just a legal requirement in many locations, but your essential tool for avalanche self-rescue. At Alternativa Sport, both in our online store and at our Sistiana retail shop, you will find exclusively brand-new safety equipment and devices to guarantee maximum technological and structural reliability when it matters most.

Avalanche kit components: technology and durability

Our catalog features a curated selection from top brands specializing in snow safety – including Mammut, Ortovox e Black Diamond – offering both ready-to-use complete safety packages and single components to customize your setup:

• Avalanche Beacons (LVS): Choosing a brand-new 3-antenna avalanche transceiver ensures you have the most up-to-date search software, optimal signal range, and fast multiple-burial marking functions, which are vital to minimize rescue times.

• Snow Probes: We stock lightweight avalanche probes with quick-tensioning systems in steel or Kevlar for flawless rigidity during probing, allowing you to accurately pinpoint a burial's depth.

• Avalanche Shovels: High-strength aluminum models featuring ergonomic handles and sharp blades designed to cut through and clear even the hardest, debris-packed avalanche snow.

Zero compromise for your backcountry tours

When it comes to safety, preparedness and gear reliability are the only things that truly matter. Explore our range of brand-new beacons, shovels, and probes, upgrade your ski touring gear, and head out on your winter backcountry tours with total peace of mind, protection, and awareness.
