Trekking Poles – Support for the Mountains and Winter

Trekking Poles for the Mountains and Winter Sports

Trekking poles provide support and relief for your knees and back, particularly on steep and uneven terrain. They are popular among mountain walkers, cross-country skiers and hikers of all ages.

We stock trekking poles.

Choosing the Right Poles

Adjustable poles: adapt to uphill and downhill terrain. Shock absorption system: reduces impact on the wrists. Lightweight models (carbon): best for trail running and long trips. Robust models (aluminium): withstand heavy use, more affordable. For winter: baskets (snow baskets) are essential to prevent the pole from sinking deep into the snow.

Choose Poles to Suit Your Activity

Adjustable poles adapt to uphill and downhill terrain and are versatile. Fixed-length poles are lighter and more rigid – popular for cross-country skiing and mountain running. In winter, large snow baskets are essential to prevent the pole from sinking deep into the snow.
