How Your Walking Poles Secure Every Step
So that every step counts: Every walking stick has massive tungsten steel tips. The metal tips penetrate soft and hard ground to prevent slipping.
In the hiking poles, we use break-resistant 6061 aluminum (Alpine Explorer), 7075 aluminum (Expedition Pro) or 3K carbon (3K Carbon Extreme+), which impresses with its lightweight and maximum stability.
The adjustable wrist straps ensure that the poles are always securely and comfortably in your hand.

Practical for short distances are our telescopic poles ALPINE EXPLORER. They can be collapsed to 65 cm and extended with one hand.
Foldable
The foldable poles: EXPEDITION PRO and 3K CARBON EXTREME+ are foldable to 37 cm. This means they even fit in flight luggage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need trekking poles?
Of course, you do not need hiking poles to walk in the fresh air. However, they offer some advantages: they provide safety by preventing falls on uneven ground or steep slopes. In some sports, such as high-altitude mountain tours, they are therefore essential. They also relieve muscles and joints.
Who are hiking poles suitable for?
For anyone who wants to move healthily in nature. Trekking poles allow even older people to exercise, for example after a hip operation. People with knee problems also find the support helpful as it relieves the knees and helps against knee pain. Exercising in the sun strengthens the body’s overall resilience.
Which model is right for me?
Our purchase advice: Alpine Explorer is the entry-level variant with the best price-performance ratio. The model is lightweight, stable, and versatile. Advanced users and travelers appreciate the practical portability of our two foldable hiking poles: Expedition Pro made of aluminum and 3K Carbon Extreme+ made of ultra-light carbon.
Which tip should I use for which surface?
Correct: The normal trekking attachment is best for soft surfaces like forest, meadow, or mud. The walking attachment is best used on hard surfaces like roads. The snow attachment (only included with Expedition Pro and 3K Carbon Extreme+) is perfect for winter mountain tours.
Telescopic or foldable?
Telescopic poles like Alpine Explorer can be quickly extended and collapsed. The shortest length is 65 centimeters, the longest length is 135 centimeters. The foldable hiking poles Expedition Pro and 3K Carbon Extreme+ are even shorter when folded: they reach 37 centimeters. This is practical if you want to travel by plane. To fold, simply release the quick release, to assemble, simply snap it in place.
Aluminum or carbon?
This decision is a matter of taste: While both materials are extremely stable, carbon is slightly lighter. Professionals who want to feel the difference prefer our 3K Carbon Extreme+.
Are they suitable for overweight or tall people?
Yes, usually. People up to two meters tall can walk comfortably and upright with our height-adjustable walking poles – whether for men or women. There is no weight limit: if you use the poles correctly, you can also lean on them with a higher weight.
Are they also suitable as Nordic walking poles?
Yes! With the walking attachment, you can also use the poles on hard surfaces
. The rubber tips provide cushioning, which means you need less energy while walking. At the same time, they cushion the impact to relieve the joints.
