The passion for the mountains has been in the heart of Dachstein since 1925 when the story began with Anton Lintner, the founder of a shoemaker’s workshop in Molln naming it Dachstein after the highest mountain in Upper Austria.
From the very beginning at Dachstein we have combined the traditional Austrian shoe craftsmanship with innovative ideas to offer the best mountain experiences for the mountain-enthusiasts.
In 2025 we have an honour to start the 100-year anniversary celebrations and offer a whole anniversary collection with shoes for all adventures. Our 100th anniversary theme features the new shoe models with our retro logo and the anniversary colouring for a sporty yet retro look, inspired by the past to appeal the new generation’s modern hikers.
Growing up with that mountain out my backdoor I never imagined working for the company that bears it´s name. Let alone design such a special collection after 12 years being with the brand. I feel honoured and privileged to have had the opportunity to create the 100 years anniversary CI, footwear collection, look-book and be part of the photo shooting. Looking back in all the history to move forward. Off to the next century.
