Mammut Alugator Pro Shovel

It is designed for both. Because it is UIAA 156 certified and features a hardened, anodized aluminum blade, it meets the rigorous durability and performance standards required by mountain professionals and guides.

The oval shape is significantly more rigid than a standard round shaft, which prevents the shovel from twisting or bending when you are digging through dense, compacted avalanche debris. It also helps with quick, intuitive assembly during an emergency.

Yes. The blade features a straight back, which is specifically designed to create clean, flat walls when you are digging snow pits to analyze layers and stability.

While it has the largest blade in the Mammut range, the shovel is designed to be efficient. It collapses down to 61 cm, allowing it to fit into most standard backcountry packs, though you should ensure your pack has a dedicated shovel compartment for the best fit.

The integrated steps allow you to use your boot to apply extra downward force when digging into hard, frozen snow. This is a critical feature for moving debris quickly when every second counts.

Yes, the T-grip is ergonomically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable hold even when you are wearing thick winter gloves or mittens. It is designed to maximize your leverage and energy transfer while shoveling.
