Bergzeit Story

More Bergzeit

For over 20 years, we have been bringing the mountains to life and doing our best to make the perfect "Bergzeit" (German for mountain time) possible for everyone. Based in the Bavarian Alps, we started as a small touring portal before rapidly developing into a leading online provider of mountain sports equipment with 40,000 articles from over 500 brands.

We have more than 370 employees who love to share their passion and experience with our customers. Together, the team faces the challenge of preserving the mountain world and at the same time enabling the best experience for everyone. Bergzeit sees itself not only as a mountain sports specialist, but also as an enlightener and role model for mindful action and sustainable consumption.

Pure Mountain Passion

The location in the immediate vicinity of the Alps is no accident: the Bergzeit team spends a lot of time on the mountain, in summer preferably climbing, mountain biking, hiking or running, and in winter, ski touring, snowshoeing or freeriding. Ski touring and bike meetings after work are just as much a part of the working atmosphere as relaxed, friendly interaction with colleagues and a view of the Alps from the headquarters in Otterfing.
