Reducing CO2 emissions and offsetting – for our carbon neutrality
VAUDE has been climate neutral on a global level since January 1, 2022. The German pioneer in sustainability achieved this milestone by focusing not only on consistently reducing its own CO2 emissions, but also by compensating for climate-damaging emissions.

#EVERYDAYCLIMATEDAY – Contact your political representatives
Deine Stimme zählt für den Klimaschutz Klimaforscher und andere Wissenschaftler warnen uns seit Jahren. Auch der jüngste Bericht des IPCC Weltklimarates zeigt es eindrücklich. Der Klimawandel ist Realität, die Auswirkungen sehen wir direkt vor unserer Haustüre. Hitzewellen, Dürreperioden, Hochwasser und andere Starkwetterphänomene werden immer häufiger. Sie bedrohen akut unsere Lebensgrundlagen – auch in Deutschland. Wenn […]
#EVERYDAYCLIMATEDAY – Contact your political representatives
Your vote counts for climate protection Climate researchers and other scientists have been warning us for years; the newest report of the IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change also makes it very clear: Climate change is a reality, and we can see the effects right on our doorstep. Heat waves, droughts, floods and other severe […]
#EverydayClimateday – Eat Sustainable
Warum auch unsere Ernährung zum Klimaschutz beiträgt: Wiliam Cochet ist Freerider und im Winter meist im Tiefschnee zu finden. Im Sommer aber, wenn er nicht beim Powdern auf verschneiten Hängen unterwegs ist, verbringt er viel Zeit auf seiner kleinen Farm in Frankreich. Schon seit vielen Jahren engagiert sich der VAUDE-Athlet in Sachen Klima- und Umweltschutz […]

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.
