Mammut Alugator Pro Hoe

The hoe function allows you to adjust the blade to a 90-degree angle, which is significantly more efficient for clearing large volumes of snow or moving debris quickly. It saves energy and time during rescue scenarios or when building snow shelters.

Yes. The blade is crafted from hardened, anodized aluminum and features stabilization ribs to prevent bending. It is also certified to the UIAA 156 avalanche shovel standard, meaning it is built to withstand the high forces encountered in real-world avalanche rescue.

The ergonomic D-grip is designed to provide a secure, comfortable hold even when you are wearing thick winter gloves. It allows for better leverage and more efficient power transfer, making it easier to move heavy, dense snow without losing your grip.

Absolutely. The blade features a straight back edge, which is specifically designed to cut clean, precise profiles in the snowpack. This makes it a reliable tool for backcountry safety assessments.

The shovel features a telescopic shaft that collapses down to 68 cm, making it compact enough to fit inside most standard avalanche safety packs. When fully extended, it reaches 91 cm for better leverage.

The integrated attachment points allow you to use the shovel as a snow anchor for building a belay or to help construct an emergency rescue sled. It adds a layer of versatility for complex backcountry situations.
