Vivalpin & Friends

THE NORTH FACE is like no other brand with its origins and core so rooted in classic mountain sports. the products of THE NORTH FACE have proven themselves in the mountains of the world. The VIVALPIN mountain professionals are thrilled and absolutely convinced of the unique quality and function.

Individual mobility is and remains an important part of many people's daily lives. However, the fact that this takes place in an environmentally compatible manner in times of climate change and must also be continuously optimized in the future is not an empty promise, both at Mercedes-Benz and at Autohaus Hornung. The latest technologies, such as the revolutionary GLC F-Cell as the first series-production vehicle with hydrogen drive, the particularly consumption-optimized and low-emission diesel hybrid drive or permanently further developed electric vehicles, underpin the constant striving for environmentally compatible and sustainable mobility solutions.

For almost 20 years, VIVALPIN mountain guides have been wearing LOWA mountaineering and trekking boots with great enthusiasm in the mountains of the world - from simple hikes to demanding expeditions. The proverbial LOWA fit and unrivaled function are particularly impressive. With the best recommendations!

The ski area Hochfügen at the entrance to the Zillertal is considered to be particularly snow-sure due to its high altitude of up to 2,500 m. For us, it is the freeride hotspot of the Northern Alps.

Hard goods with perfect function even under the toughest conditions. For this reason, the VIVALPIN pros have chosen ropes, harnesses, helmets as well as crampons and ice axes from EDELRID. EDELRID equipment can be tested and tried out for free on many VIVALPIN beginner courses!
