Qwicklane
Qwicklane develops the world's first ski touring binding with electronic height adjustment for climbing aids, revolutionizing ski mountaineering.
About
Qwicklane is a German startup founded by three friends—Johannes, Dominik, and Lukas—from the Munich area. Their mission is to revolutionize ski touring by developing the Qwicklane Easy, the world's first and only automatic ski touring binding with electronic height adjustment for climbing aids. The device allows users to adjust the climbing aid height at the press of a button, increasing safety, ease of use, and the overall experience for both beginners and professionals. With an emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and user-centric design, Qwicklane combines advanced mechanics, electronics, and smart software to create lightweight, cold-resistant bindings compatible with standard pin-insert touring boots, and offers both manual and automatic operation modes.
