Salewa

About Salewa

Salewa began in 1935 as a corporation for saddles and leather wares, and the name says as much: Sa for Saddler, Le for Leather, Wa for Wares. The label first gained international recognition for its lightweight crampons and for inventing the tubular ice screw, which is a proper climbing pedigree. Today it sells outdoor gear, clothing and shoes, designed in the heart of the Alps. Its own storytelling stays close to the rock too, with a new route in the Fanes Dolomites, born from the desire to return, explore and see a familiar wall through new eyes.
