Salewa Alpinist Walk Crampons - 12-Point Semi-Automatic Crampons for Glacier Travel and Alpine Trekking

The Salewa Alpinist Walk crampons stand apart through their semi-automatic C2 binding, which pairs a steel heel bail with a durable plastic toe basket. This configuration fits B2 and B3 boots with a heel welt, giving you a secure, rattle-free connection without the full rigidity of a technical automatic crampon. The result is a dependable tool for glacier travel, alpine trekking and classic mountaineering routes where weight and simplicity matter.

Highlights

• 12 points made from hardened chromoly steel for durability on snow and ice
• Semi-automatic C2 binding: steel heel bail and plastic toe basket
• Tool-free length adjustment fits EU sizes 36–48
• Integrated anti-balling plates reduce snow build-up underfoot
• Horizontal front points suit non-technical terrain and beginner-to-intermediate users
• CE EN 893 and UIAA certified

In daily use

The articulated, semi-rigid construction lets the crampon flex with your boot, improving comfort on long approaches. The tool-free adjustment system means you can resize them quickly in the field, and the included storage bag keeps your pack organised. At 820 g per pair, they strike a balance between robustness and carried weight.
