Since December 2019, mountaineering has been recognized as a Unesco intangible heritage. This fascinating sport is attracting more and more enthusiasts, both beginners and experienced climbers. To practice climbing and mountaineering safely, it's essential to choose the right equipment. At Alpinstore, we offer a wide range ofclimbing equipment, from boots to ropes, to meet all your needs.
The choice of equipment depends on several factors: your level, the type of climbing you do (sport, long route, mountaineering) and the weather conditions. For beginners, we recommend versatile, easy-to-use equipment. Climbing shoes, for example, should offer good support and be comfortable to avoid blisters on your first outings.
Think safety too: a good helmet is essential to protect your head from falling rocks or other accidents. Harnesses should be chosen with care to guarantee optimum support during ascents. Don't forget that each element has its own importance in vertical climbing!
To guarantee quality and performance, Alpinstore works with the best brands in the sector, such as La Sportiva, Petzl and Black Diamond. These brands are renowned for their constant innovation and commitment to climber safety.
Feel free to explore our complete selection to find the equipment that perfectly matches your expectations! Whether it's for an indoor outing or on natural terrain, we've got everything you need.
The equipment you need depends on your chosen activity: if you opt for via ferrata or technical mountaineering, make sure you have a suitable ice axe and well-fitting crampons before your run. Similarly, a charged headlamp can be crucial on night hikes.
