La Sportiva success story in the middle of the Dolomites

Good Friday at 16.00, the first step to make a pair of Skwama 38.5 is done by cutting out the rubber. Some 30 skilled workers and 1.5 hours later, the pair is controlled and put in a La Sportiva box and the factory takes Easter break. In total, La Sportiva employs 260 people now and they come mainly from Ziano di Fiemme, where live 2 000 people in total, and the surrounding mountain villages. During the last ten years, the increase in number of sold shoes has been some 10% annually. 100% of their shoes are hand made in Ziano di Fiemme in the middle of the Dolomites.
