The Alu 240 PFA probe from Ortovox is part of the avalanche safety equipment, which includes an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, and an airbag backpack. In emergency situations, its more compact Alu 240 PFA system offers increased maneuverability. The quick-tension strap allows immediate opening and tensioning with a single movement. To determine burial depth and adapt optimally to the shoveling strategy, the Alu 240 PFA probe features easily readable depth markings and a 1-meter mark.
