Optimus, a leading name in hiking stoves

Founded in Sweden in the late nineteenth century, Optimus has established itself as a specialist in outdoor cooking equipment. The brand built its reputation on robust, high-performance stoves that accompany adventurers on a few nights of wild camping or expeditions in remote environments alike.

Over the years, Optimus has developed a wide range of gas and multifuel stoves to meet the demands of hikers, trekkers and mountaineers. It focuses on reliability, ease of use and fuel efficiency, essential criteria when travelling far from facilities.

Today, Optimus stoves are among the leading choices for anyone seeking an effective cooking solution in the wild.

Optimus stoves for trekking, wild camping and expeditions

The Optimus range covers different needs according to the adventure you are planning.

Optimus gas stoves appeal for their low weight, ease of use and compact size. They are particularly suited to multi-day hiking, trekking and summer wild camping.

For more demanding conditions, Optimus multifuel stoves accept different fuels and offer excellent self-sufficiency. They are particularly valued on extended journeys, high-altitude expeditions or adventures in regions where gas canisters are hard to find.

With this variety of solutions, Optimus meets the needs of occasional hikers and committed outdoor enthusiasts alike.
