SALEWA. Die Profis im Bergsport. Wir haben die richtige Bekleidung und Ausrüstung für den Alpinsport.

The mountain climbing tradition runs deep in SALEWA‘s genes. In winter it manifests itself in a particular form: high-altitude, free off-piste skiing. Without use of artificial methods for ascending, and thus with no impact on the high mountain environment. We call it free-ski mountaineering. Using expert climbing skills to ascend through rock, ice, or snow crust. Down again using exceptional ski skills, across virgin snowfields and powder snow in high mountain terrain. Sportspeople who engage in this king of mountain sports must be 100% confident of their clothing and equipment at every moment. We have created these products in consultation with the mountaineering specialists of the SALEWA alpineXtrem team.
It‘s not about a new marketing buzzword. Neither is it an artificially created market niche. It is the quintessence in the history of mountain climbing. Seasoned mountain sportspeople want a way to live their passion even during the cold winter months. Together they explore the high mountain terrain. They sound out possible ascent routes and next-to-impossible ski descent routes. Then it‘s upwards using sophisticated rope and safety systems. Through trackless high-alpine terrain. Then downwards in a wild, free rush. Pure off-piste skiing. Climb to ski. The guiding rule of this sport: the interplay of man and mountain, the grace of movement, the freedom of the path chosen. That is free-ski mountaineering...
