The Finnish Luhta Sportswear Company acquired a stake in Dachstein Outdoor & Lifestyle GmbH and became the official representative of one of the oldest Austrian footwear brands Dachstein.
The Austrian brand Dachstein was founded in 1925 in the heart of the Austrian Alps in Salzburg, as a family-owned company manufacturing strong and reliable shoes for traveling in the mountains. Throughout its existence, the brand's main ridge has remained modern, high-tech leather shoes of various designs with breathable inserts, cordura seals and Vibram soles, as well as using eco-friendly eVent or DryDS membranes.
