Poles

Trekking poles: improve your comfort and stability

Trekking poles do more than make walking safer. They play an essential role in easing the strain on leg muscles, reducing fatigue and protecting joints and your back, particularly on long outings.

Why use trekking poles when hiking?

Trekking poles provide a real improvement in comfort, particularly on varied terrain:

  • Reduced impact on the knees when descending
  • Better propulsion uphill
  • Improved balance on technical terrain
  • Effort distributed between the upper and lower body

They are particularly useful for mountain hiking, especially when carrying a loaded backpack.

Which poles should you choose for your activity?

Different types of poles can meet your needs according to your intended use:

Trekking poles

Versatile and robust, they are suitable for treks, day hikes or multi-day routes.

Nordic walking poles

Designed for dynamic activity, they encourage upper-body engagement and brisk walking.

Walking sticks

Simpler in design, they provide occasional support for easy walks or hikers seeking stability.
