French term or phrase: DVA
I am translating a marketing text for a travel company. In the section about alpine skiing a few pieces of equipment are mentionned, one being DVA. I cannot find the meaning of this acronym.
Here is the sentence:
...tout est prévu pour vous de l’équipement que le matériel de sécurité (DVA, pelle, sonde).

Thanks.
