Une pelle d'avalanche est une pelle spécialisée; le manche peut être détaché de la lame, ce qui fait qu’elle peut facilement être placée dans un sac à dos. La pelle [d'avalanche] est un des trois morceaux d'équipement de sécurité essentiels pour les avalanches. Son utilisation principale est pour le sauvetage autonome, quoiqu'on l'utilise aussi pour faire des coupes lorsqu'on effectue des tests du manteau neigeux.
