Ski poles

The right ski pole provides good rhythm, power transfer and control. Here you’ll find poles and accessories for cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, training and racing.

Poles for skiing

Poles are more than just support – they are a central part of skiing technique. The right pole helps you generate more power in every push, improves balance and makes your skiing more efficient. Whether you ski cross-country or alpine, choosing the right poles is important for both feel and performance.

Cross-country poles

• Longer and lighter than alpine poles.
• Designed to provide maximum propulsion in the track.
• Available in different materials – from aluminum to advanced carbon fiber.
• Straps and grips adapted for many hours of use.

How to choose cross-country poles:
A simple rule is that classic poles should be about 35 cm shorter than your height, and skating poles about 22.5 cm shorter.

Alpine poles

• Shorter and more robust, built for balance and steering.
• Stronger shafts and baskets to withstand high speeds and heavy loads.
• Adapted for different disciplines – from slalom to freeride.

How to choose alpine poles:
Stand upright with your arms by your sides. Raise your forearm so that your elbow forms a 90° angle. Measure the distance from the floor to your hand – that is the pole length you should choose.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about poles

How do I know what pole length I need?
For classic cross-country skiing: your height minus 35 cm. For skate skiing: your height minus 22.5 cm. For alpine skiing: use the 90° method.

Is carbon fiber better than aluminum?
Carbon fiber is lighter and gives better feel, but it can be more delicate. Aluminum is durable and often less expensive.

Can I use the same poles for cross-country and alpine skiing?
No, they are designed for completely different disciplines. Cross-country poles are longer and lighter, while alpine poles are shorter and more robust.

Do I need to change baskets?
Yes, on poles the baskets can be changed depending on snow conditions (small for hard tracks, larger for loose snow).
