The safety pack
The mountains are wonderful adventure terrain, but it's essential to explore them with care. The minimum safety package includes an avalanche beacon, probe and shovel. However, having this equipment does not guarantee total protection. It's crucial to know how to use them correctly and to remain vigilant in all circumstances.
