OUR HISTORY
Passionate about mountains, freedom and design
A family adventure
The idea for CORDALP came to me while leafing through my grandmother's old family album. Nothing is more inspiring than the mountaineering pioneers of the 1950s, who climbed mountains armed with only ropes and ice axes.
The name CORDALP is a fusion of "rope" and "Alpinism", two essential elements of this adventure.
My grandmother was always a role model: a strong, ambitious woman, willing to defy convention to achieve her goals. It is her willpower and love of freedom that I inherited.
I carry these values today through CORDALP: to surpass myself and contribute, in my own way, to the preservation of nature.

Product Designer
Meet the designer
Over the years, I have acquired solid experience as a product designer, particularly in the sports and leather goods sectors.
Although I enjoyed my work, growing concern about its environmental impact prevented me from fully developing.
It was when I discovered climbing in 2020 that I immersed myself in its culture and spiritual dimension. This experience inspired me to create my own eco-responsible brand, combining my design skills with an ethical and creative vision.
CORDALP thus embodies the ideal meeting between my know-how, my environmental convictions and my passion for the mountains.
