Avalanche transceivers work by sending out a pulsing radio signal that cuts through the snowpack, picked up by nearby units with audio and visual cues to guide rescuers to the exact location. Built to worldwide safety standards, they’re one of the most important pieces of avalanche gear you’ll ever own.
Having the right equipment is just the first step; knowing how to use it effectively is just as critical. We strongly recommend undertaking regular, certified training to build confidence and skill with your kit. To learn more, check out our detailed guide on how to choose your avalanche transceiver.
