Ortovox HAUTE ROUTE 40

The Haute Route has been around since the dawn of ski touring. Our tried-and-true classic is perfect for longer ski traverses.

Thanks to the use of Cordura and PFC-free double-layer 420D Oxford polyamide, the Haute Route 40 is extremely abrasion-resistant and additionally water-repellent due to the PU coating on all fabrics. Load control straps and the O-Flex-2 back system with ergonomic fit and an S-shaped stabilizer ensure an optimal fit, distributing weight evenly between the hips and shoulders even over longer periods. The hip fins also connect internally to the back system, allowing them to wrap around the body seamlessly and comfortably.

With its larger volume, the Haute Route 40 can accommodate everything you need. The spacious main compartment is accessible from both the top and the back, ensuring that all your items are quickly at hand, while the separate safety compartment guarantees quick access to emergency equipment. Additionally, a rope can be quickly packed or unpacked from the backpack lid without having to open it. In addition to ice axe and pole attachments, as well as a fixed helmet net, there are also flexible carrying attachments available, for example, for a snowboard. Skis can be attached in both a classic and diagonal manner to the ski touring backpack.

No matter how long and challenging the journey, with the Haute Route 40, you are well-equipped for any multi-day tour.
