An ultralight avalanche shovel for challenging outings

The Mammut Alugator Ultra is an avalanche shovel designed to offer maximum efficiency in emergency situations while remaining ultralight, with a weight of just 395 g. This lightness makes it easy to carry on long ski touring or winter mountaineering trips without unnecessarily weighing down your pack. The 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum construction provides a sought-after combination of strength and low weight, making it a reliable tool when you need to clear snow quickly. Its unisex design makes it a great choice for all users who want discreet yet ready-to-use gear.

7075 aluminum construction for optimal efficiency

The Mammut Alugator Ultra shovel features a welded construction made of aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which contributes to greater durability when shoveling hard snow. The telescopic handle with an I-shaped design offers optimized rigidity, helping to transmit force without excessive deformation during excavation. The sharpened blade, combined with a straight back, allows for precise snow profiles to be cut, an asset for analyzing snowpack stability or working cleanly in an avalanche deposit. This technical design is geared toward efficiency in the field, where every move counts.

Compact ergonomics and maneuverability in emergency situations

The Mammut Alugator Ultra features an ergonomic design intended for quick and intuitive use. Its symmetrical T-handle promotes efficient force transmission, whether you’re left- or right-handed, which improves maneuverability in sometimes precarious conditions. The compact design allows for easy storage in a small backpack, making it easy to integrate into a complete safety kit. In terms of dimensions, the shovel features a blade 22 cm wide and 24 cm long, a folded handle length of 39 cm, a total length of 75 cm when extended and 55 cm when folded—measurements that strike a good balance between compactness for transport and shoveling range in the field.

A safety-certified shovel recognized with an international award

The Mammut Alugator Ultra avalanche shovel is UIAA 156 certified for avalanche shovels, a standard that sets the performance requirements for this type of safety equipment. This certification provides a technical benchmark for users concerned about their gear’s compliance with established standards. Furthermore, the shovel was honored with an ISPO Award 2023, a distinction that highlights the design work focused on its ultra-lightweight nature and its effectiveness in emergency situations.
