Winter trekking and winter hiking – rent your equipment for the adventure in the snow

When temperatures drop and the landscape is covered in a white blanket of snow, a very special season begins for outdoor enthusiasts: winter trekking and winter hiking. At this time of year, the challenges are greater, but the rewards are more impressive. Anyone who has ever hiked through untouched deep snow, climbed icy peaks or spent a night under a starry winter sky knows how unique these experiences are. But in order to safely master the cold and weather conditions, the right winter equipment is essential. At Eddy's Adventure, you can rent the best outdoor equipment for your winter trekking or winter hike without having to commit to expensive purchases in the long term.

What equipment do you need for winter trekking and winter hiking?

When trekking and hiking in winter, high-quality and reliable equipment that is specifically designed for extreme weather conditions is essential. Inadequate equipment can not only be uncomfortable, but even dangerous.

Winter tents: Anyone who spends the night at icy heights or in snowstorms needs a robust winter tent. These tents are more stable than conventional models, offer better wind protection and are often equipped with reinforced poles and extra snow flaps. Brands such as Helsport, MSR, EXPED, Nemo Equipment, Wechsel Tents and Nordisk guarantee the best quality.

Winter sleeping bags and winter sleeping mats: The right sleeping bag decides whether you freeze or stay warm at night. Winter sleeping bags are specially insulated and offer high heat retention. An insulating winter sleeping mat also protects against the cold from below. Brands such as Pajak, Mountain Equipment, Pajak, Nemo Equipment, EXPED and Therm-a-Rest offer first-class models.

Backpacks: A good trekking backpack is even more important in winter than in summer. It must offer enough storage space for warm clothing, sleeping bag, provisions and safety equipment. Models from Deuter, EXPED, Black Diamond and Osprey are specially designed for trekking and winter tours.

Hiking poles and crampons: Snow, ice and slippery trails require reliable support. Black Diamond, Grivel and Petzl offer high-quality crampons and hiking poles that will give you the support you need.

Gas cooker and water filter: Water freezes quickly in sub-zero temperatures, and melting snow is often the only source of water. A reliable gas cooker and a powerful water filter are essential for obtaining clean drinking water. Here you can rely on tried and tested models from Optimus .

Headlamps and lighting: Short days and long nights require a powerful headlamp with a long battery life. Brands like Black Diamond provide reliable lighting, even in the pitch dark.

Tarps and quilts: If you are looking for a lighter alternative to a tent, you can use a tarp , which offers additional protection from snow and wind. Quilts , which are a flexible addition to the sleeping bag, provide even more warmth .

Why rent equipment for winter trekking and winter hiking instead of buying it?
