⛰️ MOUNTAIN RESCUE COLLECTION @ ALPINMESSE 2024 💯   This past weekend, the Alpinmesse 2024 at the Alpinforum in Innsbruck proved to be an inspiring gathering of dedicated #mountaineers, alpine organizations, and industry experts. It was the perfect opportunity to showcase our 🆕 MOUNTAIN RESCUE COLLECTION – a milestone in product development and a commitment to those who protect lives in the most challenging alpine conditions.   ▶️ Our MOUNTAIN RESCUE COLLECTION is tailored specifically for the demands of mountain rescue teams. Designed to perform under extreme conditions – day or night, in the harshest weather 🌨️ – it is the pinnacle of our innovation. Since 2013, our close collaboration with the Austrian Mountain Rescue Service (ÖBRD) has been instrumental in refining this collection, ensuring it meets the exact needs of rescuers in action.   Alexander Helpferer, Managing Director ORTOVOX Austria, shared his thoughts: "The Alpinmesse provided a fantastic platform to present our Mountain Rescue Collection. The interest and feedback from visitors were truly overwhelming." 💭   🎉 Thank you to everyone who visited us, shared their insights, and celebrated this essential collection with us.

🤝🏻 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.

✨ 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
