ORTOVOX high alpine tour backpack – your ideal companion
Our high alpine tour backpacks are focused upon high functionality and comfort. See the many benefits of ORTOVOX backpacks for yourself!
Low weight
The lighter the backpack, the better! All ORTOVOX high alpine tour backpacks are impressively lightweight yet still robust and stable enough for any mountain adventure.
Are you looking for a particularly lightweight backpack for high alpine tours? Then the PEAK Light 30 S and PEAK Light 32 will be the right choice for you! They both combine light weight with stability and comfort. You can even reduce the weight further by removing the lid, hip fins and aluminum back frame.
Thus, your backpack is not only ideal for high alpine tours – you can also take it with you when you go alpine climbing!
Robust material
Our high alpine tour backpacks can withstand a considerable amount of punishment: Extremely tear and abrasion-resistant nylon material makes these backpacks very robust.
Unique comfort: Back system with SWISSWOOL
A technical back system with SWISSWOOL is a real highlight – there are back systems available with SWISSWOOL TEC KNIT and SWISSWOOL FULL CONTACT: Made with pressed Swiss wool, this natural material offers you unique moisture and climate control.
In contrast to conventional backpack back systems made from foam, SWISSWOOL can absorb up to almost 30 times more moisture and is nearly 7% more breathable. And the surface of a SWISSWOOL back system dries significantly faster. On an alpine tour, this means: noticeably increased comfort!
The SWISSWOOL pads of this technical back system guarantee comfort, light weight and pleasant temperature management. And thanks to flexible, removable elements such as a lid pocket, hip fins and the back reinforcement, the backpack can be perfectly adapted to suit your needs.

What size should my high alpine tour backpack be?
The right fit is essential for ensuring that your backpack sits comfortably. Therefore, ORTOVOX backpacks are available in two sizes. Backpacks with an “S” in their name are especially suitable for people with short backs: The back system is correspondingly shorter.
- If you are approx. 150–175cm tall with a back length of 36–44cm, we recommend a “short” (S) backpack.
- If you are approx. 170–195cm tall with a back length of 42–50cm, we recommend a “regular” (R) backpack.
It’s easy to find out which backpack size is right for you: Measure the length of your back from the 7th cervical vertebra (easy to feel on the back of your neck) to the top of your hip bone.
