Ride Ultra-light Ice Axe

New for 2026 — Petzl's lightest ice axe just got even better suited to its role. Compact, ultra-lightweight, and built for ski touring and freeriding, the RIDE remains the lightest ice axe in the entire Petzl range. At 45cm long and just 240g, it carries on your pack without you noticing it's there. A stainless steel spike and tapered pick deliver secure placements, while the curved shaft and supportive head design provide comfortable grip whether you're in piolet-canne position or actively climbing. A low-profile adze handles snow clearing when needed, and the beveled spike makes it easy to carry on a pack without damaging your gear.

Practical, efficient, and ready for your next summit.
