Arva

Arva avalanche gear covers the three items every person in a backcountry party carries: a transceiver, a probe and a shovel. Arva is a French avalanche-safety brand, and we stock its EVO5+, EVO BT and Neo BT Pro transceivers, matched safety packs, ski touring packs and emergency gear. The gear only works in trained hands, so book an AST 1 course before your first backcountry season.

Frequently Asked Questions

The EVO BT Snow Safety Pack has the EVO BT transceiver with its holster, the Spark 240 probe and the Access TS telescopic shovel. The EVO 5+ Snow Safety Pack has the EVO5+ transceiver, the Access 240 probe and the Access shovel; Arva sell the EVO5+ holster separately. Each person in the party needs their own set.

Yes. A transceiver, probe and shovel only help if the people carrying them can use them quickly and know how to avoid avalanche terrain in the first place. An AST 1 course covers trip planning, terrain and companion rescue. Do it before your first backcountry season, then practise searches with your group regularly.

The Tour 25 and Tour 32 are Arva's touring packs. The Explore 30 is a 30-litre pack for full days in any season and carries skis, a snowboard or a splitboard. The Ride 18 and Ride 24 are slimmer freeride packs, and the Rescuer 32 Pro is built for mountain professionals carrying tools every day.

Which Arva beacon?

All three are digital three-antenna transceivers. The EVO5+ is the compact, simple one. The EVO BT adds a wider search strip (60 m against 50 m), Bluetooth and a motion sensor that switches it back to transmit if you are caught in a second slide. The Neo BT Pro is Arva's top model, with the widest strip.

Training comes first

Gear does not replace skills. Before touring the Main Range or the Bogong High Plains, do an AST 1 course, check the avalanche forecast, and practise beacon searches with your party every season.
