Off-piste, everyone carries a transceiver, shovel and probe; RECCO does not replace them.
Guide
Avalanche Safety Gear
For probes and shovels, prioritise reliable handling and strength. The Austrian Alpine Club lists a transceiver, shovel and probe together; this category covers only part of that equipment.
Key points
Probe of at least 240 cm with an easy-to-use tensioning system.
Metal shovel with a long shaft; check handling with gloves.
An airbag adds to emergency equipment and does not replace training.
Check opening hours, approved uphill routes and closures. Follow the Alpine Club’s equipment guidance for your plan; a shovel and probe alone are not a complete set.
Compare a probe of at least 240 cm and a strong metal shovel with a long shaft. These are parts of the complete emergency set described by the Austrian Alpine Club.
An airbag can add to a complete emergency set alongside the probe and shovel. The SLF describes it as additional equipment. Compare complete systems; an ordinary pack is not equivalent.
