ROSSIGNOL ORIGINS

Beyond their stylish design, high-tech nature and elegance, Rossignol skis and clothing are recognizable at first glance. Their unique and distinctive emblems are the legacy of a genuine and authentic heritage. They have stood the test of time and, in doing so, have given the brand its depth, its character and its identity.

With this same sense of belonging to the French sporting community, the dominant colours chosen by the Alpine brand were those of the French flag: blue, white and red. They can be found in the logo and on athletes’ official clothing, and still feature today in all its clothing collections.

These three emblematic colours also appear in horizontal, skewed or vertical lines… showing the impression left by skis in the snow, encouraging us to move, follow a course, a direction.

The Strato model, marketed from 1965 to 1975, was the first ski to exceed the figure of a million pairs sold. Its revolutionary structure combined fibreglass, a material originating from the aviation industry, with a wood core. Famous for its dynamic and punchy nature, the Strato literally set the skier free.

This legendary ski, with an amazing winning record, has remained rooted in the heart and soul of Rossignol.
Its distinguishing feature was the unique colour of its base: blue.

A blue that stands out against the white of the snow, That blue, the “Strato blue”, can now be found in the linings of jackets, the insides of hoods, on zips, etc. Both a nod to the past and a genuine aspect of the brand’s DNA.
