Alpine Spirit
About Us
The name Capranea is derived from a combination of the Greek words, 'Capra' meaning 'goat' and 'nea' which means 'new and unique'. When founder Marc Haensli began developing the brand, his vision was to progress skiwear to new heights of performance and elegance - authentically, and with meaning.
He had always been drawn to the Ibex, a stunning species of mountain goat that lives high in the Alps, navigating steep and challenging terrain with grace and power. Marc felt that the Ibex perfectly embodied his vision and the feeling he aspired to create through his apparel - and so, the name Capranea was born. Now, 16 years later, our apparel continues to push boundaries and pay homage to the stunning natural world that inspired it.
This is our story.
