🤝🏻 IT’S ALL ABOUT PARTNERSHIPS 🤝🏻 ⚡️ Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming our valued partners, including the Safety Academy partner mountain schools, athletes, and key opinion leaders from Germany and Austria, to our headquarters in Taufkirchen for the annual 🙌🏻 PRO PARTNER MEETING 🙌🏻. This annual gathering offers an invaluable space to connect, exchange ideas, and prepare for the season ahead. Our partnerships are the backbone of our product development process, deeply woven into our DNA. The insights and feedback we receive from those who rely on our gear in the most demanding environments significantly shape our collections. It’s thanks to their expertise that we can refine our products, ensuring each piece performs to the highest standards in the mountains. 💯 A series of interactive workshops, covering everything from new materials to future innovations, provided the perfect opportunity to listen, learn, and be inspired. ✅ Our team of Tanja G. , Frank Ammon , and Max Bolland organized an amazing day with our #partners .

▶️ At the ORTOVOX Safety Academy ( https://lnkd.in/dEVGDcv5 ), we provide comprehensive avalanche training in cooperation with around 35 mountaineering schools, designed to help you assess risks in unsecured terrain. Our courses blend hands-on practice with expert knowledge, ensuring you’re well-prepared for backcountry adventures. ❗️🌨️ With winter just around the corner, we have an important question for you:

✨ No tricks, just magic – say hello to our MAGIC GEAR BAG 70! ✨ On Monday, we launched a true lovepiece for our outdoor enthusiasts: THE MAGIC GEAR BAG 70. 👏🏻 This product has a special story behind it: during a bus ride home from our holiday party, some of our team members had the great idea to create something magical from leftover materials. They envisioned a Geraffel bag (a Bavarian term for “gear”) to hold all the essentials for our outdoor adventures – be it climbing gear, ski touring equipment, or anything else you might need. Just 10 months from concept to launch, the first prototype was quickly crafted, and we couldn’t be prouder of the result! What makes the MAGIC GEAR BAG 70 special? 🟢 Crafted from PFC/PFAs-free leftover materials 🟢 Individually numbered, limited to 1200 pieces 🟢 70 liters of space to store all your essential equipment With its durable, water-repellent fabric, versatile webbing loops for gear, and easy-access front mesh pocket, the MAGIC GEAR BAG 70 is designed to be your go-to for every adventure. And you know what? The first batch of MAGIC GEAR BAGS is already gone – our warehouse is working hard to restock the remaining inventory. 🎒 If you want some magic for your next outdoor adventure, check out the details here: https://lnkd.in/gzkpvNw2 . By the way, our so called Magic Monthly Meeting is currently working on more ideas for future magical products. Stay tuned! 🔥

🔮 On Tuesday, we took a journey through time at the ORTOVOX International Sales Meeting in Munich’s Rio Filmpalast. Under the theme "Back to the Future," we looked ahead to our progressive Freeride Collection for Winter 2025/2026 while reflecting on the milestones that have shaped our journey. 🔙 Taking us on a true walk down memory lane, we were thrilled to welcome 💥 ORTOVOX FOUNDER AND SPECIAL GUEST GERALD KAMPEL on stage alongside our CEO Christian Schneidermeier . 🎤 Together, they reflected on the origins of the ORTOVOX name and logo as well as the development of the ORTOVOX F2, the first dual-frequency avalanche transceiver. ❄️ At a time when rescue devices operated on different frequencies, the F2 revolutionized avalanche safety by transmitting and receiving on both, securing ORTOVOX’s market-leading position within two years. Kampel's stories took us back to the early days – when ORTOVOX was a two-man operation – and had the audience laughing with his anecdotes. Today, we’re a team of 162, and his message was clear: success is always about the people you work with. 🤝💼 🙌🏾 What an inspiring conversation and a highlight of many from our opening event!

🎬 Back to the Future – ORTOVOX INTERNATIONAL SALES MEETING 🚀 👏 We’ve kicked off Day 1 of our annual International Sales Meeting with an unforgettable opening at the Rio Filmpalast in the heart of Munich! 🌍 It’s always a special moment when the entire ORTOVOX team from HQ joins our valued colleagues and partners from all around the world. The chance to connect in person and exchange ideas is something we truly appreciate – it’s what helps us grow together. 🎿 "This year’s theme, “Back to the Future,” set the perfect tone for unveiling our Winter 2025/2026 Freeride Collection –a line designed for steep and deep ways in the backcountry, fueled by the untamed spirit of Freeriding", summarizes Stefan Kohlbauer , Director Sales & Marketing. 🏔️ In the iconic 📽️ cinema setting, we presented our new collection through a mix of interviews, presentations, and movies, bringing our timeless aesthetic and progressive vision to life. The venue’s cinematic vibe, complete with nachos and post-event beers at the bar 🍻, made the experience all the more memorable! Together with our global partners, we celebrated the spirit of collaboration and community that defines ORTOVOX. We’re excited to share more insights within the next few days and can’t wait for the official launch of the collection in Winter 2025/2026! STAY TUNED! 🔥🔥🔥

⛰️ At ORTOVOX, we want to inspire people to search for an unfiltered mountain experience in natural surroundings so they can follow their 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. 📌 This is why we’re proud to support the ongoing exhibition The Mountain Touch at MUSE - Science Museum, 📍 Trento, 📅 running from 28 July to 17 November 2024. The exhibition explores the connection between people and #mountains , a theme that aligns with our values. Through the works of 17 artists, The Mountain Touch combines #art and #science to highlight the critical issues facing our 🌏 planet – from the climate crisis to the loss of biodiversity and the impact these changes have on both nature and humanity. Our support of My Private Fog II by Michael Fliri reflects our commitment to protecting alpine environments. This artwork focuses on #glaciers and their vital connection to people, echoing our dedication to responsible #mountainsafety and #sustainability . We are honored to contribute to this important conversation about the future of our planet, blending art, science, and environmental awareness. 👉🏾 Discover more about the exhibition and plan your visit to MUSE: https://lnkd.in/dX_m3PuU

ORTOVOX x KENIAL 🧒🏽👶🏻👧🏿👩 Two years ago, our ORTOVOX colleague Barbara listened to the podcast "Ulligunde plauscht," featuring Anke Johansen from the children's aid organization KENIAL ( https://lnkd.in/d928cav2 ). Inspired by the project, Barbara contacted Anke, and since then, she has been regularly organizing the delivery of #ORTOVOX samples to the organization. ➡️ KENIAL combines ⛰️ mountain sports with supporting children in need 🌎 worldwide. Alongside athletes, KENIAL assists children's aid projects in different countries – helping orphaned children in Kenya, children with intellectual disabilities in Chile, and young nuns (starting at age 12) in Bhutan who live in monasteries due to poverty. And that's just a glimpse. KENIAL provides what kids really need. They thoroughly research the projects, identify the right local contacts, and handle logistics like cargo and customs. 💜 Their next project is in Chile: clothing for people with cognitive disabilities at a daycare center in Puerto Montt. There, everyone has already received ORTOVOX vests and pants. The most important thing: the gear is warm, protective, and durable, even in harsh conditions. We at ORTOVOX are proud to be part of this. 🤝🏻 Want to get involved? It’s easy: Before your next big trip, send an email to KENIAL and support a project by delivering items yourself. Simply carry the gear as extra baggage and distribute it to the children in person. For the kids, this is the most special part – because they are seen!

✂️ #Upcycling at its best! ✂️ ▶️ At #ORTOVOX , we’re always exploring ways to extend the life of our products. Recently, we teamed up with ForSchur , a Berlin-based label that specializes in upcycling and recycling premium wool fabrics, to give unsellable returns a second life. 👕 We sent a selection of T-shirts and long sleeves made from high-quality wool and wool-Lyocell fabrics, each with minor imperfections. The result? A limited-edition summer collection for kids, lovingly crafted by ForSchur in their Berlin workshop. Curious to see the final products? Check out the video! 💬 Have you ever upcycled something? Let us know in the comments!

🐑🐑 WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN PARADISE FOR SHEEP 🐑🐑 Since 1988, ORTOVOX has relied on wool, and since 2011, we’ve been incorporating Swisswool - nature your life into our insulation products. Swisswool is more than just a supplier to us – it's an initiative committed to supporting regional mountain farming and ensuring its survival. Over 25 collection points have been established across various Swiss valleys, where sheep farmers can bring their wool twice a year. ⛰️ Last week, we embarked on a journey to Haslital, Switzerland, together with French media and content creators. There, we visited wool farmers Ruth and Heinz Brog, who run a farm with around 500 ewes. Since the sheep spend their summers in the mountainous landscape of the Swiss Alps, we laced up our hiking boots and joined Heinz on a hike to Burgalp – with the great hope of spotting the sheep in their vast habitat. And we were not disappointed! We spent a ☀️ sunny day with happy sheep, 🐕 eager herding dogs, and enjoyed delicious 🧀 cheese from the local dairy. ▶️ Curious to learn more about Swisswool, the wool’s journey, and its benefits?
