new Salewa Ortles Mountaineering Collection for Fall/Winter 2026 released
14/August/2026
Engineered in the Dolomites, created for modern mountaineers: the new Salewa Ortles Mountaineering Collection combines technical performance, durability and a clear design approach for challenging activities in alpine terrain.
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 test 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 and ski touring adventures. Salewa’s approach here is quite clear: Designed for the highest performance, yet with a light and intuitive approach, every product features specific properties 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.
