How to use the hiking poles?
In the case of first-time users, walking with trekking poles can seem a bit clumsily. But after falling into the right rhythm these will go with you everywhere. And what is the rhythm? Putting the opposing hiking pole in time with the opposing foot. Basically, it goes like this right foot/left pole, left foot/right pole.
Sometimes especially when you will need to stabilize your step you need to double put the poles and take two steps forward. This is very useful for walking downhill or to climb a rock on the way up. By renting the trekking poles with us we will also demonstrate you the proper use of those
