FAST

The automatically closing JETBOND system for snapping the shoe is unique and patented. The short measurement time of less than two minutes, in which the optimum setting value for the ski binding is determined, adjusted and checked, is also exceptional.

LIGHT

The JETBOND is effortless and very easy to use. The leg simulator is permanently connected to the device and only has to be swiveled into the shoe. The measurement process is started and runs fully automatically.

PRECISE

JETBOND simulates the real load extremely precisely. A real torque measurement around the front jaw area achieves the highest accuracy in the measurement results.

We are very pleased that with Christian Löffler we have found a young beekeeper out of conviction and passion, who was enthusiastic about a joint project. Christian has had his own bee colonies for 5 years, he is a breeder, certified organic and his hives are located at the castle in Interlaken. From spring 2023, the house of the Molitor Queen will also be located there. We will keep you posted.

We want even our youngest guests of today, in a few years, to be able to spend an unforgettable time with their grandchildren in a still so beautiful mountain world. That’s why we sat down and rolled the numbers.

The company “Fokus Zukunft” has determined our CO2 footprint on the basis of this data. Of course, we can work on reducing this size in the future. But we will always leave an impact. We compensate for this by buying certificates from the VCS + CCBS projects and thus supporting projects elsewhere that have a positive impact on the environment. We have opted for certificates for the projects «Forest Protection Brazil» and «GS PET Recycling Romania». The CO2 footprint is calculated every 2 years.

There is no better way to get started with skiing pleasure. Our customers will appreciate this comfort.

It’s never been so EASY

The Boot Bib™reduces the friction between socks and the inner boot of the ski boot for a silky entry. This also means that the liner is significantly less stressed. And you can also easily get into shoes that fit very tightly.

Boot Bib™is available in two versions – Boot Bib«Senior» for adult ski boots and Boot Bib™«Junior» for younger skiers. The boat Bib™is made of RECYCLED PP.

In 1938, ski racers won the Lauberhorn downhill in the junior category for the first time. Only one year later, the first triumph in adults followed. Although Karl Molitor repeated this five more times and is thus the record holder, none of his victories was as curious and fascinating as the one in 1939.

Karl Molitor, the record winner at Lauberhorn.

The son of a shoemaker and sports shop operator, Molitor, who was born in Wengen, noticed his fondness for skiing at an early age. Already as a 13-year-old boy he drew attention with his participation in the Jungfrau jumping (ski jumping). Later, the talented Bernese Oberländer concentrated on the alpine disciplines downhill and slalom.

In 1939, Molitor triumphed for the first time at his home race in Wengen, notabene the most difficult downhill in the world. He won the Lauberhorn downhill with a whopping nine seconds advantage (!), which caused a stir throughout Switzerland at the time.

How did he do that?

Nine seconds ahead was also back then a lot at that time. The skiers of that time all suffered from the same problem: because of the Second World War, they often lacked international competition. The skiers also had to compete against skiers from the German Reich. The Swiss did not want to risk a German making the race after three Swiss downhill triumphs in the years before 1939. So, above all the teacher and the schoolcolleagues of Karl Molitor, somethought to defeat the Germans. That’s the legend. Perhaps they were simply afraid that “Moli” did not have enough potential to stand up to the opponents.

Anyway: The night before the race, they prepared a 150-metre shoertcut to help their friend Karl Molitor win.

The whole thing worked and came to nobodys attention. Until old age it was always assumed that Molitor might have taken a shortcut, but there was never any evidence, since at that time there were no cameras. In an interview with der Bund, however, Molitor at some point revealed the secret: “The evening before the race, our village teacher came to me and said that he and his students would stamp a shortcut for me at the Staubbachbänkli between two gates. He explained exactly where. The piste made a right turn, the abbreviation led directly to the next gate. In the race I found the place. But the problem was that my private slope was only one ski length wide. I could hardly brake and became so fast that when I got back on the runway 150 meters down, I fell terribly. I was lucky that the skis were looking towards the finish line when I stood again. So I skied on, and with a few sticks I was in the finish – as the winner with nine seconds advantage.”

In 1939, however, the only title remained on the Lauberhorn: Karl Molitor also achieved the victories in 1940, 42, 43, 45 and 47. The total of 6 victories at the Lauberhorn makes him the undisputed record holder. His victory in 1939, however, will be remembered for a long time to come.

After his successful career, Karl Molitor turned to his father’s profession and continued to run his business. In addition, he was active again and again in the ski circus and was part of the FIS Slalom and Downhill Committee for several years. From 1952 he was president of the ski club and race director of the Lauberhorn race in Wengen. He held this position for 35 years. The Swiss died on 25 August 2014 at the age of 94 in a retirement home in Grindelwald.
