Salomon

Founded in 1947 at the foot of the French Alps, Salomon shaped the history of modern snowsports by pioneering revolutionary bindings and ski constructions. Engineered in the heart of its Annecy research and development headquarters (the ADC – Annecy Design Center), the brand's equipment combines cutting-edge technology, lightweight performance, and durability. From the legendary S/Max piste series to the versatile Stance All-Mountain lineup and QST freeride range, Salomon delivers tailored solutions for every skier profile, continuously placing innovation and user comfort at the core of its creations.

Beyond pure performance, Salomon pays particular attention to the overall skier experience, notably through ergonomic designs and intuitive entry systems that maximize all-day comfort. Mindful of the environmental challenges facing alpine ecosystems, the brand is actively committed to an eco-design approach through its Play Minded program. This translates into reducing the carbon footprint of its manufacturing processes, developing skis incorporating recycled or bio-sourced materials, and enhancing the durability of its entire rental lineup.

Since its beginnings, Salomon has built its identity around three essential values: imagination, sustainability, and authenticity. These principles have enabled the brand to remain at the forefront of innovation while meeting the expectations of its global community.

Imagination is at the heart of Salomon’s approach. From its very first bindings to modern skis, the brand has always sought to push the boundaries of what is possible. It relies on a team of designers and engineers constantly searching for new ideas to enhance the athlete experience. Every product is engineered to deliver improved performance, whether on alpine slopes, cross-country trails, or high-mountain terrain.

When it comes to sustainability, Salomon actively commits to minimizing its ecological footprint. The brand has implemented more environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, notably with the 2021 launch of Advanced Shoe Factory 4.0, a facility in France dedicated to eco-conscious footwear production. Furthermore, Salomon invests in more sustainable materials and works to reduce the environmental impact of its products, particularly in skiing—a discipline intrinsically linked to Mother Nature. While ski equipment is no longer produced in France, manufacturing operations remain in Europe (Austria and Bulgaria).

Finally, authenticity is a central value for Salomon. Deeply rooted in its birthplace, the brand remains tied to its alpine heritage while operating as a global company. In fact, its headquarters are still located in Annecy, housing all group support functions, prototype workshops, and design labs.

In Ekosport-Rent sports shops, the finest brands are available for hire, whether for children, teens, or adults, and regardless of skill level. It would be impossible not to feature Salomon equipment in our rental lineup!
