LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE

Play (Youtube wvDFVIhmAyQ)

the inner voice. our compass.

Often it is the inner voice that tells us in which direction to go. It intuitively guides us, for us as a company, for our daily actions, for our values. To follow the inner voice is not always the easiest way, but it feels like the right one.
 

MOUNTAIN SAFETY PIONEERS SINCE 1980

Since the company was founded in 1980 in the south of Munich, our inner voice has supported us and defined our values. ORTOVOX has always stood for a sophisticated protection and comfort system for the mountains, characterized by the responsible treatment of people and nature. As a pioneer in the avalanche safety field, ORTOVOX has played a key role in the development of emergency equipment for mountain sports. Innovative products, but also targeted training measures, are valuable contributions to making mountain sports a little bit safer and to saving lives every day.

Since 1988, mountain sports apparel made with wool has enhanced the ORTOVOX product range. As wool experts, we have developed a wear comfort system from the first to the third layer that offers the highest functionality, protection and comfort in the mountains through an intelligent combination of natural material with other innovative fibers.

Sustainable management is the hallmark of all of our entrepreneurial endeavors. Commitment to safe and fair working conditions is just as important to this as dedication to the wellbeing of the sheep and the environmentally friendly manufacture of our products.

ORTOVOX sees itself as both a winter and summer brand. The passion for untouched snow on ski tours or freerides propels the brand on in just the same way as shared experiences when alpine climbing, mountaineering or on alpine tours. Friendship characterizes every interaction at the company – within the team, with customers and with partners and suppliers – in the mountains and in everyday life.
 

Ortovox PROTECTS

Protection is ORTOVOX’s highest priority. As our number one brand value, it is the central focus of all of our activities. Here, protection refers not only to products that protect against the elements in dangerous situations on the mountain, but also includes the protection of humans and nature. Safe and fair working conditions are prime examples of this, as are the highest standards of animal protection on our Tasmanian merino farms. 

OUR BRAND VALUES

MOUNTAINEERING

We love pure, unspoiled nature. We want to inspire people to search for an unfiltered mountain experience in natural surroundings so they can follow their deepest passions. We develop our equipment for demanding mountaineers for whom the best possible protection is important. In addition to experiences in the mountains, our main focus is upon the responsible, sustainable treatment of nature and its resources.

SAFETY PIONEERS

As pioneers we have played a key role in the development of mountain safety equipment. Since 1980, our aim has been to make alpine sports safer and to save lives with our uncompromising emergency equipment and specialized training. Numerous innovations, like the first double frequency avalanche transceiver, show that we continue to develop products that offer maximum protection in the mountains. Here, protection refers both to functionality and safe, high-quality materials.

FUNCTION-DRIVEN

We are driven by the thought that every product should work at the decisive moment, so alpinists can completely focus on their mountain experience. The functional design of our products contributes to your safety on the mountain. We are also committed to taking new and innovative paths when designing sustainable products and processes.

ALPINE ORIGIN

Since the company was founded in 1980 in the south of Munich, our thoughts and our trade have been shaped by our proximity to the Bavarian-Austrian culture. Past experiences in the fascinating Alpine world continue to be an inspiration for innovative and highly functional products. From the Alps for the mountains of the world. That’s why we focus upon Europe, but also consciously utilize and promote the expertise of other production countries.

FRIENDSHIP

Within the ORTOVOX team, we help and support each other. We are bound together by friendship because we share a passion for the mountains, truly identify with our support for ORTOVOX and have fun together. Our trusting, friendly partnership with our dealers and partners is characterized by proximity, personal contact, goodwill and reliability – dealing fairly with one another is one of our highest priorities.

WOOL EXPERTS

We have been using sheep’s wool to make different layers of clothing since 1988 and are pioneers of functional wool clothing for alpine sports. Our expertise lies in the intelligent combination of this natural material with other innovative fabrics. With the resulting easy-wear system, we provide our customers with unique functionality and wear characteristics. Animal welfare, in particular the welfare of our wool-supplying sheep, is what determines our actions.
