What mountaineering equipment do you need for your adventure?

The requirements for mountaineering equipment vary depending on the tour, weather conditions and experience level. Here you can find out what equipment you need for different scenarios and what you should pay attention to when choosing.

1. Alpine tours and glacier tours – safe on snow and ice

Alpine tours often lead over glaciers or icy passages, where danger can quickly arise without the right equipment. Crampons and ice axes are essential here.

• Crampons provide grip on slippery or frozen ground. They vary depending on the area of ​​use: while semi-automatic crampons are sufficient for simpler glacier crossings, fully automatic models with more aggressive spikes are suitable for steep and technical terrain.
• Ice axes are used to support walking, to secure yourself in steep terrain or as a rescue tool in the event of a fall. Depending on the tour, there are light hiking axes or steeper, curved ice axes for technical climbing.
• Climbing harnesses, pulleys and safety devices are necessary if you are moving in rope teams or want to belay in exposed areas.
• Snow shovels are a must on every glacier tour, as the risk of avalanches often cannot be ruled out. In combination with a probe and an avalanche transceiver, they can save lives in an emergency.

2. Ice climbing and mixed climbing – maximum control on ice and rock

When ice climbing or mixed climbing on icy rock routes, particularly robust and precise equipment is required:

• Ice tools with sharp picks and ergonomic handles enable safe climbing on frozen waterfalls or steep ice walls.
• Crampons with vertical front spikes offer maximum grip when ice climbing and make it easier to step precisely into the smallest of footholds.
• Climbing harnesses and helmets provide protection against falls and falling ice.
• Lanyards, safety and abseiling devices are essential for setting up belay stations and for safe abseiling maneuvers.

3. Alpine climbing tours and via ferratas – maximum safety in the vertical

Anyone who ventures into high alpine rocky terrain must be able to rely on their equipment. For alpine climbing or via ferratas you need:

• Belay and abseiling devices to reliably secure you and your rope partner in challenging terrain.
• Climbing helmets that protect you from falling rocks. A helmet is indispensable, especially in alpine terrain, where loose rocks can easily be dislodged by other climbers.
• Lanyards and carabiners to securely attach yourself to fixed points or via ferrata setups.

4. Ski touring and winter mountaineering – don’t forget your avalanche equipment

In winter, additional safety measures are necessary. Snow shovels, crampons and ice axes should be in your backpack, as should avalanche safety equipment. The correct use of avalanche probes and avalanche transceivers can be vital, especially on ski tours or winter ascents.

Why rent mountain sports equipment instead of buying it?

Mountain sports equipment is technically demanding and often comes with high acquisition costs. If you only go to the mountains occasionally or want to try out a new sport, you can enjoy significant advantages by renting instead of buying :

1. Cost savings – cheaper than buying new

Many items like crampons, ice tools or harnesses are expensive, especially if you only use them once or twice a year. Renting gives you premium gear at a fraction of the cost .

2. Always the latest technology and the highest safety standards

Mountain sports equipment is constantly evolving. With us you always get up-to-date, tested and maintained products that meet the highest safety requirements.

3. Sustainability and environmental awareness

Instead of storing rarely used equipment at home, you can only borrow it when you really need it . This reduces unnecessary consumption and supports a more sustainable use of resources.

4. More flexibility – always the right equipment for your tour

Every mountain tour has different requirements. Instead of buying different pieces of equipment for different purposes, you can rent them as needed. This way you always have the right equipment for every adventure .

5. Ideal for beginners and occasional mountaineers

Not sure if mountaineering or ice climbing is your thing? Then try renting equipment before you commit to it long-term.
