Glisshop, the outdoor store

Outdoor activities lie at the crossroads between a love of nature and pushing your limits. They involve humility, passion, and determination to create unforgettable experiences. Whether you enjoy speeding along on wheels, climbing to the top using your own strength, hiking in the mountains, or running through the woods, having the right equipment means greater comfort and safety. Glisshop provides gear and advice so you have everything you need to make your dreams of wide open spaces come true.

Trail running

Trail running has a particular appeal for those who love running but quickly grow tired of the city and its surroundings. However, to perform in optimal conditions in nature, you need to set out with the right equipment. Unlike urban environments, you will face elevation gain and uneven terrain. At Glisshop, you’ll find high-quality equipment for more comfort, performance, and safety during your sessions. Trail shoes provide cushioning, rebound, and grip, while also featuring waterproof materials. Suitable clothing ensures breathability, protection from the elements, and warmth depending on your needs and the season. Whether you run short or long distances, by day or night, you’ll also find headlamps, poles, sunglasses, and lightweight, compact backpacks. Manufacturers continuously innovate to meet runners' needs.

Hiking and mountain gear, bivouac and camping equipment

Hiking is both a sport and a leisure activity that allows you to discover stunning landscapes. This activity is accessible to everyone and helps you refocus on what matters most, with greater awareness of the world around you. In the heart of nature, following trails and markers, hiking can be done alone or in groups, for a few hours or several days. For a short outing, your legs, a backpack, and good shoes will be enough. But if you're heading out for several days, for example on a mountain hike far from civilization, you will need specialized equipment to be a fully self-sufficient hiker: larger backpacks, food, a tent, a sleeping bag, clothing, as well as cooking equipment. We have selected products that meet the key criteria for a well-prepared trip: lightness, compactness, and ergonomics.

Climbing and mountaineering

Climbing and mountaineering are demanding activities that require commitment and allow you to experience magnificent landscapes that are otherwise inaccessible. Moving on rock surfaces in safe conditions requires preparation, knowledge, experience, and above all, the right equipment. In climbing, climbing shoes ensure grip and protect your feet from shocks and friction. A helmet provides essential additional safety, while a harness secures you in case of a fall. In mountaineering, additional equipment is required: ice axes and crampons for mountaineering boots, ensuring proper grip on snow and ice. In both activities, you will also need harnesses, ropes, carabiners, etc.

Navigation and survival gear

When exploring the outdoors—whether hiking, mountaineering, or trail running—it is important, even vital, to know how to navigate geographically and locally. GPS watches and maps allow you to know your position and keep your objective in sight. Binoculars help with orientation and headlamps are essential during bivouacs or nighttime sports activities. You will also find guides and IGN maps to better prepare your expeditions and handle unexpected situations.

Food and hydration

Trips lasting more than a day require a certain level of autonomy, and there is no need to overload your backpack unnecessarily. We provide water bottles and hydration bladders for storage, as well as various water treatment tools. Freeze-dried meals are designed to minimize carried weight while preserving maximum nutrients. You will also find dietary supplements, energy gels, and fruit purées for endurance activities.
