Follow our guide and get ready to put a little nature under the tree!


Footwear: putting one foot in front of the other in complete serenity

Hiking starts with a good pair of shoes. Give a gift that will accompany them on every trail, with brands like Merrell, La Sportiva or Lowa, renowned for their comfort, sturdiness and technicality. With these shoes, there's no excuse to turn back: your loved ones will always go further, always higher. A gift that works every time!

Poles: the ideal support for summits

Hiking poles are indispensable companions for tackling steep climbs and protecting joints on descents. Brands such as Leki, Black Diamond, Guidetti and TSL offer practical, lightweight models. Giving poles as a gift is a bit like reaching out to your loved ones in difficult times (hiking, of course)! With this gift, they'll always be well supported on the trails.


Backpacks: carry the mountain on your shoulders

A good backpack is an essential companion for any hike, whether short or long. Treat yourself to a model from well-known brands such as Deuter, Osprey, Gregory or Millet, which combine comfort, practicality and large capacity. With well-designed, lightweight bags, your loved ones will be able to carry all their gear without fear of back pain. So you can set off on your adventure loaded down, but always light!

Sleeping bag and mattress: for dreaming under the stars

What could be better than a good sleeping bag for a comfortable night's sleep in the great outdoors? Treat your loved ones to warm, lightweight models from brands such as Sea to Summit, Ferrino, Thermarest or Vaude. And to complete the picture, think of inflatable or self-inflating mattresses, perfect for avoiding ending the night on the rocks. With this gift, they'll be ready to count the stars... warm and cozy.


Accessories: the little extras that make all the difference

It's often the details that turn a hike into a successful adventure. Think of must-have accessories like :

  • Water bottles and water filtration systems: CamelBak, Katadyn, or Lifestraw for hydration in all circumstances.
  • Technical socks: Smartwool and Icebreaker for dry, blister-free feet.
  • Headlamps: Petzl and Black Diamond for effective night lighting.
  • Multifunction knives: the famous Gerber or Opinel, ideal for bivouac tasks.

With these little accessories, your loved ones will be ready to tackle the trails and enjoy unforgettable adventures.


And why not give them a gift card? The key to every adventure

If you're still hesitating, opt for an Alpinstore gift card! It's the perfect gift to let your loved ones choose their favorite equipment themselves, from boots to accessories to backpacks. With this, you're sure not to go wrong: freedom is priceless, especially in the great outdoors.
