Rossignol Ski Equipment

Rossignol is an iconic name in the world of alpine sports, known for its deep roots in the French Alps. Founded in 1907 by Abel Rossignol, the brand began by crafting skis out of solid wood. Over the decades, it pioneered several technological breakthroughs in the industry, including the first metal skis and iconic fiberglass models that helped shape modern competitive skiing. The brand's history is closely tied to professional racing success, having equipped numerous Olympic champions.

Today, high-end skis are still manufactured in Artès, Spain, and Sallanches, France, while boots are primarily produced in Italy. The brand has expanded significantly beyond hardware to include a premium mountain lifestyle apparel line, bridging the gap between high-performance technical gear and French luxury fashion. This dual focus has allowed Rossignol to maintain its status as a premier global winter sports brand.

The brand's ownership has transitioned through several major entities over the years, notably being owned by Quiksilver in the mid-2000s. Currently, Rossignol is the flagship brand of the Rossignol Group, which is owned by the investment firm Altor Equity Partners. Under this ownership, the group has focused on sustainable manufacturing and expanding its footprint in the outdoor and lifestyle markets globally.
