Ortovox prepares and protects. Whether it be via their outstanding avalanche safety equipment, warm apparel, or practical backpacks, Ortovox go out of their way to ensure you have all bases covered for your next adventure.

Ortovox is a world leader in supplying backcountry gear, clothing and backpacks. They are perhaps best known for their renowned avalanche safety equipment and for specialising in making the most technologically advanced transceivers and probes on the market.

In 1980 Gerald Kampel and Jürgen Wegner developed the first double-frequency transceiver, the ORTOVOX F2, for searching for avalanche victims. Until then all avalanche transceivers in use sent and received in different frequencies (2, 275kHz and 457 kHz). This would often lead to fatal avalanche accidents where victims could not be found quickly enough due to differences in frequency. The F2 can send and receive on both frequencies and the product was received with much enthusiasm. Within 2 years it became a best seller of its type. 

Today, Ortovox are very much still a market leader when it comes to transceivers, probes and mountain safety equipment. They continue to improve their products year after year and produce goods that are used by mountain rescue staff worldwide.
