CLF 2026

Welcome Reception

Salewa – Engineered in the Dolomites! The headquarter of Salewa, a European market leader in mountaineering equipment, is shaped like a mountain massif and, with its aesthetic concept, harmoniously connects the surrounding landscape, culture, and the technology of the Salewa brand.

The Welcome Reception takes place at Salewa Bivac Garden Bistro in front of the Salewa headquarter. Salewa Bivac, together with the Salewa Cube climbing gym and the Salewa Store, is part of the Salewa World. Look forward to a relaxing evening at the Salewa Bivac, where a laid-back and welcoming atmosphere awaits you. Enjoy good food, casual conversations, and a cozy setting that reflects the spirit of the mountains – the perfect place to prepare for the following conference days. 

Dress code: casual

Attention climbers! Test your skills at the Salewa Cube climbing gym. We are giving away 20 tickets (rental climbing shoes included) for the Salewa Cube on the day of the Welcome Reception to those who select this option during registration. Tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you don’t manage to get one in advance, you can still purchase a ticket on-site.
