What Strolz Sport & Mode is known for

Ambros Strolz opened a shoemaker's workshop in Lech am Arlberg in 1921, hand-stitching leather ski boots for the valley's early alpine skiers and eventually inventing the Strolz ski boot. Four generations later the family still runs a seven-floor sport and fashion house on the same site, with a ski depot, rental service and in-house tailoring.
