Rent avalanche equipment – ​​safety for your winter adventure

When ski touring, freeriding or alpine winter hiking, professional avalanche equipment is an essential safety feature. Anyone who ventures into unsecured, snowy terrain should be well prepared. Avalanches can occur in a matter of seconds and the right equipment can mean the difference between life and death. It is therefore essential that you familiarize yourself with your avalanche equipment and know how to use it safely. At Eddy's Adventure, you can rent your avalanche equipment easily and flexibly - perfect if you occasionally go to the mountains or want to use the latest technology.

What avalanche equipment do I need?

A complete avalanche equipment consists of three main components: avalanche transceiver, avalanche probe and avalanche shovel. In addition, an avalanche backpack with airbag significantly increases the level of safety. Each of these elements has a specific function and can save lives in an emergency.

An avalanche transceiver is essential for quickly locating a buried person. Modern avalanche transceivers offer digital multi-antenna systems, intuitive operation and functions such as group checks or marking functions, which are particularly valuable when there are several buried people. At Eddy's Adventure you will find high-quality avalanche transceivers from Ortovox, Pieps and Black Diamond - brands known for their reliability and innovation. It is important to practice regularly with an avalanche transceiver in order to be able to act quickly and safely in an emergency.

The avalanche probe enables precise localization under the snow cover. After locating with the avalanche transceiver, the probe is used to determine the exact position of the buried person. Our probes from Ortovox, Black Diamond and Pieps are light, stable and easy to handle. The longer the probe, the easier it is to reach a deeply buried person. A minimum length of 240 cm is recommended; for larger amounts of snow, 300 cm or more is more suitable.

An avalanche shovel is the third essential tool. The depth of the burial can be considerable, so a robust shovel with an efficient blade design is essential. An aluminum shovel is much more stable than models made of plastic. Here we offer you models from Black Diamond, Ortovox and Pieps that are particularly light but still durable. When digging out, every second counts, so it is advisable to practice an effective shovel technique beforehand.

An avalanche backpack with airbag technology can significantly improve the chances of survival in an emergency. By pulling the airbag mechanism, the person stays on the surface of the snow and is less likely to be buried. Our airbag backpacks from Ortovox and Black Diamond offer the latest systems for maximum safety. Some models are equipped with electronic or mechanical trigger units. It is advisable to practice using the airbag backpack before the tour and to ensure that the cartridge or battery is working.
