Hiking poles - it's a French speciality
With all our beautiful mountains, the practice of Nordic walking and hiking is very popular in France. French-based brands have therefore become the experts in the design and manufacture of Nordic walking and trail poles. For example, TSL Outdoor, a recognised specialist in snowshoeing, has developed a range of trekking poles made in France, which you can discover on our dedicated page. Also discover Guidetti, a specialist in hiking gear since 2004, with all hiking poles made in France. There are two leaders who develop products with passion and know-how.
How to choose hiking poles
What sport suitable for everyone, good for the body and the mind, and combines physical exertion and natural — often — surroundings? The answer is Nordic walking. Choosing a set of trekking poles might seem straightforward. For your comfort, and to ensure a perfect harmony between equipment and body (your body and your walking poles must be one) a few tips can help you make the right choice. The weight from one Nordic walking pole to the next can vary, as well as its robustness and comfort, which is pertinent to your usage. You should be mindful of the type of materials used for the handle, for example. Finally, don't forget about telescopic hiking poles.
