Crampons and Microspikes – Grip on Ice and Snow

Crampons and Microspikes for Winter Outings

Crampons and microspikes provide safe footing on ice and hard snow – essential for winter hikes in the mountains and icy conditions in town.

At Jobb og Fritid you will find crampons and microspikes.

Choose According to Use

City crampons/light microspikes: chain or spike crampons for walking paths. Light and simple. Trekking crampons: more robust for mountain hikes and long outings. Technical crampons: aggressive spikes for ice climbing and steep summit routes. Make sure they are compatible with your boots – some models require stiff footwear.

Safety on Ice and Hard Snow

For northern Norwegian winters with a great deal of ice on the paths, crampons are a reasonable safeguard against falls and injuries. City crampons are suitable for walking paths and urban use. Traditional crampons with multiple spikes are suited to mountain hikes. Technical crampons are required for ice climbing and steep summit routes.
