Arva Avalanche Probes

Arva, 35 years of equipment dedicated to mountain safety

Arva is a mountain safety equipment brand founded in 1985 in the heart of the French Alps. For over 35 years, it has excelled at the highest level of snow safety equipment. After introducing the first Avalanche Victim Search Device (ARVA) for the general public, it has significantly expanded its catalogue to offer, in addition to Arva Avalanche Probes, a complete range of avalanche victim detectors (DVA), backpacks, airbags, back protectors, shovels, and accessories. An essential item in your bag, the Arva probe is indispensable for accurately locating a victim buried under an avalanche. The brand from Annecy offers various models, including the Access 240 Probe, its best-seller. Practical and reliable, it is also available through the Safety Box Evo 4 Pack, which compiles the three essential safety items to always have on hand during outings close to snowy peaks: an avalanche probe, a shovel, and a DVA. 

The Arva probes, combining reliability, lightweight, and practicality

Arva offers various avalanche probes, all designed for specific uses. For example, the Race 240 Probe, ultra-light and compact due to its carbon construction, is tailored for competition and ski mountaineering. Its minimal bulk allows it to fit into the smallest mountaineering backpacks, and it can even be shortened by removing a section. Meanwhile, the Spark 240 Probe combines a sleek design with exceptional versatility to accompany you on all your skiing or snowboarding adventures. Its aluminium tubes make it durable and resistant, weighing only 250 grams. Tucked into your Arva Airbag backpack, it will quickly find its place in the dedicated compartment. This Spark 240 probe, featured in the Safety Box Evo 5 Pack, is equipped with the Pin Lock locking system for easy and instant assembly with a simple pull on the handle. Generally, all Arva probes are designed to be easy to use, especially under stress. Their quick deployment and locking allow you to gain precious seconds and maximum efficiency during searches for avalanche victims.
