We cooperate with like minded partners

Together with our partners, we are committed to issues that unite us—from responsible mountaineering and the stewardship of alpine habitats to social issues. Our partners contribute their respective expertise and work together to develop projects and initiatives.

VAUDE is an official outfitter of the German Alpine Club DAV (in german) - the only sports association recognized as a nature conservation organization.

VAUDE and the DAV have been working together since 2002. The partnership focuses on mountain sports as well as joint projects and initiatives related to nature and climate conservation and social issues.  

Through the “Naturverträglich unterwegs” project, VAUDE supports the DAV in promoting a considerate approach to nature and fellow human beings in mountain sports.

This includes campaigns like “Naturally Biking”, “Naturally on Tour” as well as “Naturally Winter”.  

The project “Mountaineering of the Future” with the campaign “justdoit” is supported by VAUDE within the cooperation.

The VAUDE Sport Albrecht von Dewitz Foundation (in german) supports charitable projects in the areas of Alpine safety and environmental protection. Our company founder Albrecht von Dewitz created the foundation to contribute to the future of mountain sports and the preservation of nature.

The foundation board is composed of experts from the outdoor industry, who work for the companies VAUDE as well as EDELRID, among others. Our managing director Antje von Dewitz is chairwoman of the foundation board. For VAUDE, this partnership offers another opportunity to commit to future-oriented ideas and solutions that we need for the challenges of our time.

VAUDE and the Innsbruck Region have been partners since 2025. 
We are united by a passion for active experiences in the mountains, easy access to nature, and a mindful approach to alpine habitats.

The Innsbruck region stands out like no other place for alpine-urban quality of life: city, culture, and mountains are particularly close together here.
Whether hiking, biking, winter sports, or a relaxing nature experience—the Innsbruck region inspires people to experience the mountains responsibly and joyfully and to consciously enjoy the connection between city and countryside.
Together, VAUDE and the Innsbruck region aim to inspire people to enjoy outdoor activities and promote a considerate approach to alpine habitats and other people.
