About Us

Our Story
VIST was founded in 1997 in the heart of the Dolomites, in Caldaro, South Tyrol, by Roberto Vivian and Elmar Stimpfl — whose initials form the brand’s name. Initially specializing in high-performance ski plates for racing, the company gained international recognition following its success at the Nagano 1998 Winter Olympics. Today, headquartered in Milan, VIST is a leader in alpine skiwear, combining technical innovation with Italian design.

Our Brands
The VIST Group offers four main lines: Vist Scuderia, dedicated to federations, ski teams, schools, and clubs (serving over 150 organizations in 40 countries); Vist Milano, blending fashion-forward style with high performance; Fischer Alpine Skiwear under exclusive license; and collaborations such as FILA-VIST for the Asian market. Every collection is “By Athletes, For Athletes,” born from the experience of former Olympic athletes within the leadership team.

Mission & Values
We design high-performance, fashionable, and sustainable skiwear using premium materials, movement-optimized cuts, and vibrant colors inspired by the alpine landscape. Driven by sporting passion and innovation — such as the SpeedLock system — we create products for professional athletes and enthusiasts alike, perfect both on the slopes and in the city.
