Rent crampons – stay safe in winter

Maximum sure-footedness on snow, ice and steep sections

Crampons are among the most important pieces of equipment for all outdoor adventurers venturing into winter or alpine terrain. On frozen paths, snowfields, or icy summit ascents, they provide secure footing and increase your stability on challenging sections. At Eddy's Adventure, you can flexibly rent or borrow crampons and test them directly in the field. With our "rent first, buy if you like it" option, you can find out risk-free which model truly suits your tours, your hiking boots, and your outdoor gear.

Why crampons are indispensable for alpine and winter terrain

Steep slopes, icy paths, slippery traverses, or crusted snow can pose challenges even for experienced hikers and mountaineers. Crampons provide extra grip and allow you to move forward in a controlled and energy-efficient manner. They help you reduce risks, conserve energy, and safely overcome difficult sections. Especially in winter, on spring tours, or on high-alpine routes, their use is a crucial safety factor. Renting crampons gives you the opportunity to try out different binding systems and spike shapes – ideal for those who venture into winter terrain occasionally or for the first time.

Which crampons you can find at Eddy's Adventure

Our range includes various models, including versatile crampons from Black Diamond, Petzl or Grivel.
Lightweight models are ideal for classic mountain tours where short sections of ice or firn are to be expected.
More robust crampons with a more pronounced front point offer optimal grip on steeper routes or during demanding alpine expeditions.
Flexible binding systems allow you to use them with different mountaineering boots – an advantage for anyone who wants to combine different types of tours.

Each crampon is cleaned, inspected and rented out in perfect condition so you can rely on maximum safety.

Which equipment ideally complements crampons

Crampons work best when combined with crampon-compatible or conditionally crampon-compatible mountaineering boots.
For winter tours, a warm sleeping bag, an insulating sleeping mat and a weatherproof tent or bivouac sack are useful additions to your mountain setup.
A robust outdoor jacket protects you from wind and cold, while trekking poles give you additional stability on long climbs.
Headlamps enable safe starts in the dark – especially on tours that start early or end late.
