La Sportiva was founded in 1928 in the Dolomites of Northern Italy and has since grown alongside the history of alpinism and mountain exploration. What began as a small craft workshop evolved into a global outdoor brand shaped by climbers, runners, mountaineers, and the people who build the products behind the scenes. Rooted in passion, innovation, and a deep connection to the mountains, La Sportiva continues to develop footwear and equipment that supports both personal adventures and legendary ascents. Always moving forward, often uphill.
