Just like with your cross-country skis, you should take into account whether you are cross-country skiing in classic or skating style. Surfshop24 recommends the following rules of thumb:
Here is the example for a female skier with a height of 170 cm:
The bottom line is that skating ski poles are about 10 cm longer than classic models.
A classic ski pole for cross-country skiing should end at about shoulder height, or at armpit height if it is stuck in the snow.
The skating pole goes approximately to the chin/mouth, maximum to the nose.
For children who grow quickly, an adjustable cross-country pole (Vario pole) is recommended.
Such a model can be modified in just a few steps, can be used for both skiing techniques and grows with the child for at least 2-3 years.
