Special moments deserve more than a photo

You were up at the summit. It was quiet, clear – simply free. Now the moment only exists on your phone – somewhere between shopping lists, chats and notes.

You think about it often. But the more time passes, the more the feeling fades. That's exactly what we wanted to change.

"Some memories deserve more than a photo – they deserve a place to tell their story."

alpen-werk transforms geographic data into tangible models: as a 3D-printed mountain relief on solid oak wood – with your personal summit, your tour, your story.

Quality in Detail

Precision you can see

We use the finest available geodata – that's what sets us apart. Our print layers are so fine they're barely noticeable and appear like natural contour lines. German engineering standards in every relief.

From engineer to mountain relief maker

As a mechanical engineer, I always wanted to create something with my hands. Something that lasts. My wife just said: "But please nothing pointless."

The mountains have always been part of my life. They give me peace, perspective, a clear head. So why not simply bring the mountain from outside into your home?

The first prototype stood on our shelf and we knew immediately: This is more than decoration. This is memory. A piece of home. A piece of freedom for your home.

Today, every model contains exactly that: The love for mountains, the joy of craftsmanship and the desire to preserve special moments forever.

Personally active: Trail running, ice climbing, alpine tours, hiking, mountaineering, ski touring, ski mountaineering – and yes, also ran a marathon.

We know what we do – and live it.

"Not just a mountain. Your mountain."

– Stephan, from Ruhpolding
