How was the brand founded?
We have been travelling the mountains for more than 10 years together. 10 years of mountain expeditions, film projects and strong friendship. It came to a point we needed a new common challenge, related to our experience working with outdoor companies. We felt the time had come to create our own brand. We wanted to offer something simple, tangible, durable and useful. This is how Glacier Optics was born. A high-quality sunglasses brand made in the Alps.

You can check our size guide on the product page of your desired glasses.
How can I decide which model to purchase?
It really comes down to personal preference—every one of our models is designed to perform beautifully in mountain sports.
That said, each style has its own personality. Pierredar is our lighter option, making it a great companion for cycling, while Moiry has a vintage-inspired mountaineering feel that’s especially loved for skiing.
