Family-owned and operated since its foundation in Switzerland in 1887,
Nidecker has been cultivating excellence for five generations.

The company’s approach to business is simple: a focus on progression guided by la technique créative and respect for natural resources.

Innovation is an integral part of the corporate DNA in design, technology, and communication.

Nidecker has evolved throughout the decades but has always stayed true to its passion for la glisse: gliding on snow and water. All our products, from sleds to alpine, cross-country, and monoskis, as well as snowboards, water skis, wakeboards, and stand-up paddleboards have been inspired by the lake and mountains that surround the company headquarters in Rolle, at the foot of the Swiss Alps.

Today, Nidecker is the oldest continually-operated European snowboard brand. Its global distribution network allows it to share its experience and passion with riders worldwide.

SNOWBOARDING

FOCUSED

Since designing and building our first board in 1984, our hearts and minds have been committed to snowboarding. It is our love and joy. That will never change.

PROGRESSION

Driving the progression of riding through innovation by developing products that allow riders to perform to the best of their ability is what Nidecker does best.

CARVING

From bending wood for wagon wheels to drawing ski, monoski and snowboard contours, Nidecker has always had a great talent for designing curves. That expertise combined with the G-forces generated doing low, fast turns creates the sensation of carving. Once you’ve felt it, you’re hooked for life.

FOR
MORE
FUN

“For More Fun“ is still as relevant today as it was as our tagline back in the 80s. Nidecker has always known what riding is about: pure, unadulterated joy. The company’s goal remains the same: making riding as comfortable, effortless, and enjoyable as possible.

FAMILY

Since 1887, one thing has never changed at Nidecker: the feeling of family. The company has always been owned and operated by the Nidecker family, but it’s since grown to include every employee, team rider and customer. That's just the way we ride.
