For the international launch of its new Ortles Mountaineering Collection, Salewa assembled media representatives, trading
partners and athletes at the Schwarzensteinhütte in the Zillertal Alps at the end of July. At an altitude of 3,000 metres, the
main theme of “Enter Your Mountain Space” became immediately apparent: product tests in the alpine environment and
discussions with athletes displayed the collection exactly where it was developed – surroundings in which weather, terrain
and altitude are the defining parameters.
Enter_your Mountain Space - Die neue Ortles Mountainee
EEntwickelt in den Dolomiten, geschaffen für moderne Alpinist:innen: Mit der neuen Ortles Mountaineering Kollektion verbindet Salewa technische Performance, Langlebigkeit und einen klaren Designansatz
Bolzano, 29 July 2026 – Every ascent begins with questions. Questions about who we want to be, the places we want to reach –
the spaces where we can express ourselves, our personality, our attitude. Where is our place, our space? In its new Ortles
Mountaineering Collection for Fall/Winter 2026, Salewa confronts us with these questions, shifting the focus onto the personal
dimension of mountaineering.
Mountaineering has always been at the core of Salewa’s DNA, a discipline that defines the brand’s heritage and continues to shape
its identity. Yet the activity itself is evolving. Seasons are no longer as they once were; weather patterns are shorter, less
predictable, and more extreme. At the same time, a new generation of mountain enthusiasts is discovering the appeal of alpinism -
looking for authenticity, simplicity, and the freedom to move with purpose.
The mountains are far more than just a sporting target, instead they are a space of possibility – where people can probe their limits,
make decisions and acquire new perspectives. This is precisely the thinking reflected in the campaign “Enter_your Mountain
Space”, which forms the basis for the new Ortles Mountaineering Collection.
Today’s modern mountaineers are searching for something extra. They want more versatility, more safety and more refined
aesthetics. They seek products that reflect their attitude: innovative, functional, and built for the unexpected. The new Salewa
Ortles Mountaineering Collection was created to meet these changing needs.
Engineered in the Dolomites and tested in the alpine terrain, the collection supports mountaineers on the widest range of alpine
activities – from technical ascents and demanding tours in high mountain ranges to multi-day mountaineering or skitouring
adventures. Salewa’s approach here is quite clear: Designed for the highest performance, yet with a light and intuitive approach,
every product should feature just those properties that are actually needed in the mountains – no more, no less. The result is a
technically refined collection combining protection and performance with a clear, intuitive design approach.
