... off the beaten track
Maximum comfort and quality
respecting the environment at all stages of production.
Socially useful and economically sustainable.
The knitting products are entirely handmade with merino wool.
The no mulesing certification ensures that the yarn comes from animals that have not been mutilated and are not subjected to pesticide dips, which are extremely dangerous for the animal and the environment, and whose toxic agents remain in the yarn. The wool comes from small animal husbandry in areas not infested by a
particular type of fly, generally above 1,500 metres, using best practices in sheep breeding respecting both the animals and the environment.

We live on a planet that offers an extraordinary diversity of landscapes. Not to enjoy it is a crime. No matter the way, hike, climb or fly, the mountains around us deserve our full attention. This is also why we must take care to allow as many people as possible to enjoy it in the future.

I divide my life between guiding work across the entire Alpine range, training and expeditions to chase vertical dreams of climbing walls in the most remote and beautiful places in the world. I am passionate about climbing in all its forms: sometimes repeating iconic routes in the history of mountaineering and climbing; sometimes instead leaving my signature on new itineraries such as: via Kalypso on the Sato Pyramide in Nepal; via Gold Rush in the Kichatna Spiers in Alaska

I have particularly delicate feet and have tried hundreds of socks without ever being fully satisfied with my purchase. For the first time now I can say that I have finally found the perfect sock for me. No blisters, dry feet and above all ... it's true !!! .... they don't smell bad, even after many hours of summer trekking. The fabric is really soft and no friction is created. In addition, the mid-calf elastic is very delicate and does not make the "tourniquet" effect but at the same time does not make the sock slip .... which is very difficult to find!

It is already my second purchase on this site. The socks are really good and I have only a memory of cold feet. I recommend them to everyone.

Finally a company that seems truly attentive to the environment! The wool is very soft and the beautiful socks high below the knee! Recommended

I have always had blistering problems doing ski touring and with these socks I have solved the problem. OUTSTANDING!

Used for a trip to Finland, with cold temperatures always below 0. The socks have kept the heat very well and the fit is really comfortable with reinforcements on the heel. Consigliatissime!

I prefer the entirely natural line to the technical one. With the technical and ultra-light boots now, this sock is perfect for long stays in the snow with which I compare myself daily without further compressing the foot and ensuring maximum warmth.
