Hiking poles – lightweight, adjustable and reliable for all types of hiking

Hiking poles are an important part of your equipment when you are going up and down the mountains. The right poles provide better balance, more efficient steps, stability in steep sections and safety on varied surfaces. With us you will find a wide range of hiking poles adapted for ski touring, randonné and uphill passes – developed for mountain terrain and long days on snow.

We have models for beginners, experienced top tourers and those looking for maximum performance, weight savings or function for technical tours.

What characterizes really good touring poles?

Touring poles must be functional both on uphill and downhill runs. That's why our poles are:

• lightweight – for energy-efficient walking on long trips

• adjustable in length – to adapt to terrain and snow

• durable – built in aluminum or carbon fiber

• Grip-friendly – with long grip zones for side steps and steep terrain

• equipped with large troughs – perfect in loose snow and varied mountain environments

• stable on descents – for extra support when going downhill

All of this makes touring poles one of the most versatile tools during the tour.
