Tips for moun­tain lovers — per­fect­ly equip­ped for every tour 

Anyo­ne who enjoys being out­doors app­re­cia­tes pro­fes­sio­nal equip­ment that they can rely on. The most popu­lar items include repair gad­gets, tren­dy pla­s­tic-free func­tion­al clot­hing made from natu­ral fibers such as Ten­cel, clas­sic ther­mal jackets with mini pack size, sus­tainable lunch boxes and hiking socks with com­pres­si­on for long tours or long-distance hikes.

Hiking maps are always in sea­son — becau­se every digi­tal plan­ning app can crash or the cell pho­ne bat­tery runs out fas­ter than expec­ted on tour. The per­fect choice are tho­se from KOMPASS — water­pro­of, robust and available for many regi­ons in Ger­ma­ny, Aus­tria & Ita­ly. The hiking maps are also available in sets of up to four, cove­ring an enti­re regi­on such as South Tyrol, Tren­ti­no or the Chiem­gau and Berch­tes­ga­den Alps in one. Not just for hiking, by the way — all the cycle rou­tes are also included. Or would you pre­fer to give away a sub­scrip­ti­on to the KOMPASS APP as a digi­tal com­pa­n­ion? Spea­king of cell pho­nes: an insu­la­ted smart­phone case extends the bat­tery life so that you can cap­tu­re all the moments in the cold sea­son, whe­ther win­ter hiking, cross-coun­try ski­ing or skiing. 

Making bike fans per­fect­ly happy 

Ther­mal clot­hing such as overs­hoes, wind­stop­per pants and gloves ensu­re smi­ling faces and warm toes and hands, and not just in the cold sea­son. Cus­to­mizable, ultra-light hel­mets with top safe­ty fea­tures are the trend for 2026, and bike­pack­ing is also very popu­lar and the­r­e­fo­re a good gift sup­pli­er, from prac­ti­cal pan­nier han­gers to ultra-light bags and spe­cial tents. GPS smart tra­ckers and alarm loca­ti­on tags with and wit­hout a signal ensu­re secu­ri­ty and theft pro­tec­tion for bikes.
