Trekking Poles – Support for the Mountains and Winter

Trekking Poles for the Mountains and Winter Sports

Trekking poles provide support and relief for the knees and back, particularly on steep and uneven terrain. They are popular among hikers, cross-country skiers and tourists 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, less expensive. 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 stable – popular for cross-country skiing and fell running. For winter, large snow baskets are essential to prevent the pole from sinking deep into the snow.
