A lightweight shovel with a sturdy blade and telescopic shaft

Overview

Extremely lightweight, compact and functional, the Ortovox Pro Light Shovel is the perfect companion for all ski tourers who want to be nimble on the go, but place high demands on their equipment!

Ortovox have used innovative materials, modern production processes and carefully considered notches in the shovel blade to create a lightweight avalanche shovel that weighs in at only 440g – without compromising on rigidity. For the shaft of the shovel Ortovox have used high-quality 7075 T6 aluminum that is both very light and extremely strong.

Thanks to the telescopic, rapid-closure shaft, the lightweight avalanche shovel can be quickly adjusted. And its practical switchover function makes it suitable for both left and right-handers.

The pack-friendly blade has step grooves to stop your foot slipping when digging, a sharp, sturdy cutting edge guarantees optimum performance and high sidewalls and a pronounced center ridge on the blade provide the necessary rigidity. Thanks to notches in the material, the shovel is not only lighter, but also suitable for building a rescue sled or for use as a snow anchor.
