The Ski Backpack for Any Situation

A versatile, technical, and comfortable pack built for demanding ski tours, the HAUTE ROUTE 40 is a long-standing classic—trusted since the early days of ski touring and designed to handle everything from big days in the mountains to multi-day adventures.

Durable, Weather-Resistant Construction

Built with Cordura®, PFC-free double-layered 420D Oxford Polyamide, and a full PU coating, the HAUTE ROUTE 40 is exceptionally scuff-resistant and water-repellent. It’s made to withstand tough terrain, rugged use, and harsh weather conditions.

Exceptional Fit & Load Distribution

The ergonomically shaped O-Flex-2 back system with an S-shaped stabilizer ensures optimal load distribution between your hips and shoulders—even over long days. Integrated hip fins wrap comfortably around the body for a seamless, secure fit, while load-control straps keep everything stable on the move.

Spacious & Smartly Organized

With a generous 40L capacity, this pack has room for everything you need on extended tours.

• Dual access to the main compartment (top + back) keeps all your gear easy to reach.

• A dedicated safety compartment provides fast access to avalanche equipment.

• Rope attachment on the lid allows rope handling without opening the pack.

• Attachments for crampons, ice axes, poles, snowboard, and more give you maximum flexibility.

• Skis can be carried diagonally or A-frame.

Whether you’re stacking big vertical days or tackling technical multi-day traverses, the HAUTE ROUTE 40 is ready for any challenge.
