Our story

We are the sum of our experiences and those of our predecessors.

As we look ahead, we build the future by drawing on our history, transforming the past into innovation.

Today, Garmont evolves with solid roots grounded in over 60 years of experience, while keeping an eye on a world in constant transformation.

Our Origins

In 1964, Garmont was born in the Montebelluna Sportsystem district, a place renowned worldwide for its footwear expertise and craftsmanship. The brand name carries its heritage within it: “GAR” comes from the founder’s surname, Garbuio, while “MONT” pays tribute to Montebelluna, the heart of sports footwear tradition and innovation.

Built for the Peaks

Garmont quickly established itself as a trusted name in ski mountaineering, capturing the passion of enthusiasts and earning the respect of professionals who shared the same love for the mountains.

Beyond New Heights

Driven by a desire to explore new possibilities, the company expanded its offering with mountaineering footwear and began its journey toward international growth.

The Spirit of Innovation

Garmont continued to push boundaries with the launch of the first Dragontail approach shoe, helping define a completely new product category. This spirit of innovation continued with the first 9.81 shoe, a precursor to modern trail running footwear.

Sharpening Our Focus

Garmont accelerated the development of its outdoor business, exiting the ski boot market to strengthen its focus and position in the outdoor footwear segment.

A New Direction Forward

A new era began for Garmont, defined by a comprehensive transformation across the entire value chain. From organizational restructuring and supply chain re-engineering to a renewed brand identity and product design strategy, every step was driven by the ambition to build a stronger future.

Shaping our Future

Garmont unveils a new product architecture centered around the 9.81 and Tradizione collections, while redefining its operating model through dedicated business units. This evolution brings greater focus, stronger decision-making, and new opportunities to continue growing and shaping the future of outdoor footwear.


“PRODUCTS ARE THE CORE EXPRESSION OF OUR BRAND”


We are a product-driven brand.
Not because we manufacture well

but because each product carries our soul,
expresses our identity and embodies sixty years of mastery, quality and authenticity.


Our products are more than objects.

They are conveyors of values, platforms for
empowerment, and tools for unlocking human potential.
We do not build products for shelves.
We build products for movement, for freedom, for the world as a playground.
