Finding the optimal length for your ski touring poles

Are you faced with the decision of what length your ski touring poles should be? Don't worry, at Transa we can help you find the perfect pole length for your needs. Here are some tips to help you choose:

Basic rule: Place the ski poles on the ground while standing upright. The ideal length is reached when your forearms form a right angle to your upper arms.

Adapting to the terrain: On downhill runs, you can choose slightly longer poles to gain more stability. On steep terrain or ascents, shorten the poles to ensure efficient power transmission.

Telescopic poles advantage: If you opt for telescopic poles, you have the flexibility to adjust the length as required. This is particularly useful if you are planning different activities such as ski touring, hiking or trekking.

Individual preferences: Also consider personal preferences. Some people prefer slightly longer poles for increased reach, while others prefer shorter poles for more control.

With these considerations in mind, you can easily find the ideal pole length for your next outdoor expedition. If you have any questions, we at Transa will be happy to assist you to ensure that your ski touring poles are perfectly suited to you and your adventures.

High-quality materials for ultimate performance

Aluminium touring poles

Many of our ski touring poles are made from high-quality aluminium alloys. These materials are not only extremely light, which is crucial for long tours, but also offer remarkable strength. This ensures the poles' stability, even in demanding terrain.

Carbon touring poles

For those who attach particular importance to minimising weight, we offer carbon fibre ski touring poles. These materials are not only lighter than aluminium, but also absorb vibrations effectively, which increases comfort, especially on long descents.

A suitable pole disc for every need

Standard discs: Most ski touring poles are supplied with standard discs. These plates are well suited to mixed terrain, from groomed slopes to light powder snow. They offer a balanced combination of stability and versatility, making them ideal for all-round activities.

Powder discs: If you mainly ski in deep snow, powder discs are the optimal choice. With their larger surface area, they prevent the poles from sinking into the snow and offer improved stability. These plates are ideal for ski touring off the groomed slopes.

Ice tips: If you are travelling on hard or icy terrain, ice tips are the right choice. They prevent snow and ice from penetrating the disc and offer improved traction on slippery surfaces. These tips are particularly suitable for technically demanding ski touring.

Summer or trekking tips: Summer or trekking tips are ideal for ski touring poles that are also used in summer or for trekking. These plates are smaller and lighter, which makes them easier to handle on firm underground surfaces. They are perfect for mountain hikes or trekking tours.

Your perfect ski touring pole for the next tour

Our ski touring poles combine passion, authenticity and technical sophistication. Discover the versatility of ski touring poles that are not only suitable for ski touring, but also for demanding hikes and trekking adventures.
