PARTNER
Nobody likes going to the mountains alone. Not even us! =)
That's why we are grateful for great partnerships and good collaborations with companies and hut owners who share our passion for the mountains.
COMPANYS
ORTOVOX
Ortovox is the undisputed specialist for winter safety equipment – and has been since 1980. Back then, they revolutionized avalanche transceiver technology with the first dual-frequency device and have continuously developed and expanded their product range ever since. Today, great importance is placed on the sustainable processing of natural products such as merino wool and sheep's wool (Swisswool) to combine maximum functionality with maximum comfort. With Ortovox Protect, the company has committed to producing its entire product range climate-neutrally by 2024 – and achieved this goal by 2022. But that's just the beginning. In 2008, the Safety Academy was created, a training platform where mountain enthusiasts can further their education in the three areas of snow, ice, and rock.
KOHLA
Tirol
The traditional Tyrolean company Kohla has been around since 1932. The company was founded by Max Kohla in Innsbruck. Its first products included backpacks, poles, and hunting equipment. Through numerous innovations, Kohla became a byword for mountaineering enthusiasts in its segment in the 1970s. In 2003, the brand was acquired by the Spahn brothers from the Stubai Valley.
Kohla manufactures 80% of its products directly in Tyrol, focusing on local quality and the shortest transport routes. The company has recently garnered numerous awards (including two ISPO Awards), proving that it remains one of the most innovative brands in mountain sports.
HUTS
SANTNERPASSHÜTTE
Rosengarten massif
Hardly any hut in the Alps is more beautifully and impressively situated than the Santner Pass Hut in the Rosengarten. Located at an altitude of 2,734 meters on the Santner Pass, the view to the west is unobstructed. The architecture of this ultra-modern hut pays tribute to this breathtaking panorama with a full glass front, allowing guests to enjoy the sunset while being treated to fine food by the friendly hosts, Romina and Michi.
The hut's local mountain, the Rosengartenspitze, is a special Dolomite peak that offers its climbers wonderful opportunities, but not easy routes. Also in the immediate vicinity are the Vajolet Towers, which are very popular with climbers for good reason. So, there are many reasons to pay this hut a visit.
MÜLLERHÜTTE
Stubai Alps
The Müllerhütte (3,145 meters) in the Stubai Alps is a very special hut in many ways. However, it's not its unique location amidst the icy masses of the Übeltalferner glacier, South Tyrol's largest glacier, that makes it so special; rather, it's the hut team led by Heidi Wettstein that makes this place a favorite spot in the mountains.
The welcoming words on the hut's website already suggest that you're always welcome here: "We heat the oven for shoes and soul, cook with love and imagination, encourage dance and music, appreciate tradition and fresh ideas, and enjoy telling and listening to good stories. At this altitude, everyone depends on each other. We're happy to share this special world with you."
