Do I need trekking poles during the Trail?

27 March, 2026

Trekking poles are always a helpful addition. If your physical condition is good, you don’t necessarily need them.

If your knees, hips, or ankles are a bit weak, the poles can help you maintain stability on uneven paths. In that case, it’s better to hike with poles. The poles we rent are collapsible, so you can easily stow them when you don’t need them. You can reserve them with us in advance.
