Extremely lightweight, compact and functional: The Ortovox Pro Light Shovel is the perfect companion for ski tourers who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing equipment quality. Innovative materials, modern production processes, and carefully considered notches in the shovel blade create a lightweight avalanche shovel weighing just 440g—without compromising rigidity.

The shaft features high-quality 7075 T6 aluminum that is both light and exceptionally strong, while the blade uses 6061 T6 aluminum. A telescopic, rapid-closure shaft allows quick adjustment, and its switchover function accommodates both left and right-handed users. The pack-friendly blade includes step grooves to prevent foot slipping during digging, with a sharp, sturdy cutting edge for optimum performance.

High sidewalls and a pronounced center ridge provide necessary blade rigidity. Strategic notches reduce weight while enabling alternative uses—building a rescue sled or functioning as a snow anchor. The shovel is compatible with the Pro Alu III shaft and fits all Ortovox backpacks.

The Pro Light Shovel is ideal for ski touring, allowing users to carry less weight and redirect that energy toward great adventures in the snow.
