From the Quechua peoples, perched high in the Andes mountains, to the Quechua head office at the foot of Mont Blanc.

"Born in the heart of the Andes, the Quechua people are a perfect example of harmony with their environment. They are accomplished mountaineers, fostering a veritable love of the mountains. They know how to protect their mountain home and use its resources sustainably. The Quechuas also developed a society based on the community, built around discussions and listening.
These marked characteristics are at the soul of the Quechua brand, which was borne of a passion for the mountains and mountain environments. Our decision to make the foothills of Mont Blanc helps us to perfect this approach: we are close to the mountains, and close to our customers. It's just right to be able to listen, share and make the mountains accessible to all, sustainably, through products that we design to be practical, inexpensive, and safer.
This aspiration goes hand in hand with a deep sense of responsibility. The mountains are our playground, and our open-air laboratory. We must protect this environment. This comes through in our awareness of the environmental impact of our activities, and by educating our users. It's a challenge Quechua must rise to."
