Christmas in the mountains: gift ideas
How to spoil someone at Christmas who is counting down the days until their first run? Start with the budget or their activity: skiing, snowboarding, ski touring, hiking or climbing. Each entry leads to a ready-to-browse selection with size and brand filters.
Three budgets to get straight to the point
If you already have a budget in mind, start from there. The page gift ideas under €50 features beanies, gloves, fleece tops, and technical socks. The page gift ideas under €100 includes jackets, goggles, and hiking boots. The page gift ideas under €150 opens up to ski jackets and trousers.
For the skier in the family
A mask suitable for bad weather, warmer gloves, or a helmet that fits are gifts he will use from the very first day. The full outfit, from base layers to jackets, can be found on the page ski.
For the snowboarder and backcountry skier
The snowboarder will appreciate a loose jacket and reinforced gloves, available on the page snowboard. The one who climbs with skins is looking for thin and breathable layers, gathered on the page backcountry skiing.
For the walker and climber
A pair of hiking boots, a waterproof jacket, or a headlamp accompany all outings: check out the page hiking and trek. For someone who climbs, climbing shoes, chalk bag, and flexible clothes are on the page climbing.
Mountain brands that bring joy
Helly Hansen reassures those skiing in extreme cold. Regatta offers simple jackets and fleeces to gift. adidas equips the hiker with its Terrex line. CMP outfits the whole family, including kids. La Sportiva speaks to climbers and trail runners. Find them on the page brands.
The right reflex for sizes
Before ordering a piece of clothing, take a look at the label of a jacket or trousers that the person already wears. For the mountains, a slightly looser fit allows for a warm layer underneath. For shoes and climbing shoes, the exact size matters: if you don’t know it, opt for a beanie, a pair of gloves, or a mask.
Save budget before the big night
The page Black Friday and the clearance sale allow you to give more with the same budget. The new arrivals are perfect for those who like to have the latest model. Order early to avoid missing out on sizes.
