Which category is the right one for me?

This is probably the most important questions! In general, the choice of the category is very individual and depends on our skills and requirements.

Our Comfort class offers easy-to-drive all-round skis. Therefore, this class is best suited for beginners to slightly advanced skiers. Also, money-savers are right in this category, because our quality requirements also guarantee for ski with wooden core.

The Sport class is, so to speak, our allrounder. Here you will find skis for the middle skiers up to the experts. Whether it is slalom, all-mountain, freeride or twin tip, from upper mid-range to the top model, everyone will find the right skis for themselves in this category.

For ski lovers and sporty riders, we offer hand-made skis from Stöckli in our Exclusive class. In our opinion, the highest perfection in the ski industry. If you prefer a classy skiing style then choose the elegant variant with Volant.
