Our factory is located in Verbier, Switzerland, just a gondola ride away from the renowned Verbier 4 Vallées resort, voted World's Best Ski Resort in 2021 and 2022.

In this iconic region, we have the unique opportunity to test our skis and snowboards on diverse terrains with all types of practitioners—whether alpine, touring, or freeride.

european materials

To stay true to our commitment to local production, we've dedicated the past years to sourcing 100% of our raw materials from the European region.

​

Today, our wood is sourced from France, Spain, and Slovenia, our resin from France, most of our plastic components from Germany and Austria, and our fibers from Italy.

​

Beyond reducing transportation impacts, regional sourcing enhances traceability through trusted partnerships with our suppliers. Sourcing within the European Union also ensures adherence to high social standards and working conditions.

100% renewable energy

In Switzerland, we are fortunate to have abundant renewable energy resources, with hydropower making up 97% of our production power mix. The remaining 3% is sourced from other sustainable options like solar and wind.

​

For our building's heating, we use wood waste from local forestry operations, further supporting our commitment to sustainability.

​

We also focus on energy efficiency by designing our production equipment specifically for ski manufacturing, ensuring that we only consume what’s necessary at our scale. This approach keeps our energy consumption as low as possible.
