From the heart of the Alps to the highest mountains in the world
We have been selling climbing skins since 1971 and have been producing them ourselves in Tyrol since 1975. Our commitment to our production location is an essential part of our philosophy.
The private label
Since 1978, our climbing skins have been 100% "Made in Austria". Our products combine more than 40 years of experience in the development and production of climbing skins and show their strengths in tough use on the mountains of the world, in competitions and on ski-slopes.

We supply specialist retailers, tour operators and professionals with high-quality equipment to enable a safe, gentle winter experience in untouched nature.
