SALEWA PRESS KIT FW26/27 - ENTER_YOUR MOUNTAIN SPACE
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 collection 2026, Salewa confronts us with these questions. Who do we want to be – on the mountain, on our adventure, when we push ourselves to our limits?

Each summit lets us resonate – with the peaks around us, with rock, ice, thin air, snow, and earth. And with those mountaineers like us who are also up here searching for something. The mountain is a space of possibility. It allows us to express who we really are – as curious beings, seekers of silence, explorers of vertical worlds. Every step a discovery, every peak a moment of inspiration.

The new Salewa Ortles Mountaineering Collection was designed and developed to embrace and encompass all these different ways of experiencing the mountains, reflecting the diverse personalities and motivations behind them. Each product is built to be – technically – the very best. Engineered in the Dolomites, yet with space for personal interpretations of what it means to enter the mountains and the boundless opportunities they offer.

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. Modern mountaineers expect more: more versatility, more safety, 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. Designed for the highest performance, yet with a light and intuitive approach, each piece offers exactly what’s required, no more, no less. Every product is crafted for durability and reliability without compromising on comfort. Longevity is a key driver in Salewa’s sustainability philosophy, which places material selection and product lifespan at its core. The result: a collection that supports an authentic mountain experience – light, highly functional, yet based on simplicity.
