Ortovox S1 (2.1) is currently the most advanced avalanche beacon in the world. The 2.1 version is a significantly enhanced S1 and makes multiple burial scenarios easier to handle than any other beacon in the world. It displays multiple victims simultaneously on its big LCD screen.
Further down we are referring to this avalanche beacon only as "Ortovox S1" or "S1" but in fact we are talking about the updated 2.1 version.
Ortovox S1 provides you with the positions and the distances to the buried victims on an overview LCD screen. Therefore it serves as the ultimate tool in a multiple burial situation where all searchers can plan their actions at the rescue start.
The Ortovox S1 has a search range of up to 65m and this beacon is compatible with all other avalanche beacons on the market.
Ortovox S1 has a marking (flagging) functionality that allows you to mark already found victims. This unique feature allows the searcher to move on to the next victim without distraction.
It's ease of use, fast processor and accuracy make the Ortovox S1 the future of avalanche beacon technology.
We suggest you also check out the Pieps DSP avalanche beacon because we feel it is the next best avalanche beacon on the market.
Other digital avalanche beacons that are easy to use are: Ortovox D3 and Backcountry Access Tracker DTS.
