Founded in Austria in 1924, Fischer is one of the most respected names in alpine and Nordic skiing. Known for innovation, quality, and performance, Fischer is still family-owned and independently operated—a rarity in the snowsports industry. Their gear is built for everyone from World Cup athletes to everyday skiers chasing powder or perfect corduroy.

• Energy-Efficient Manufacturing: Fischer’s main production site in Ried im Innkreis, Austria, has been upgraded to use state-of-the-art heat recovery, insulation, and energy-saving systems—reducing emissions and energy consumption.
• Sustainable Ski Construction: Select ski models feature locally sourced wood cores, solvent-free top sheets, water-based lacquers, and recycled base materials, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance.
• Responsible Packaging: Fischer has committed to reducing plastic packaging and increasing the use of recyclable or recycled materials across shipping and retail.
• Durability First: Fischer’s commitment to long-lasting performance means less gear going to waste—an essential part of responsible consumption.

• Independent and Family-Owned: Fischer’s independence allows it to prioritise long-term responsibility over short-term profits, with decisions driven by innovation and care for the skiing community.
• Fair Labor Standards: All production facilities follow strict European labor and safety standards, and most skis are made in Austria and Ukraine under close oversight.
• Support for Nordic Sport & Youth Development: Fischer invests in grassroots Nordic skiing programs and athlete development around the world.

At Outside Sports, we stock Fischer because they blend cutting-edge ski performance with genuine long-term responsibility. Their independent spirit, durable construction, and steps toward greener manufacturing align closely with our values—and with the needs of skiers who care about the future of winter.
