It was during the early 20th century that the women of polo grounds and tennis courts transitioned to the slopes, bringing with them a refined sense of style and camaraderie. Among the pioneers of this golden era of alpine sport was the esteemed Kandahar Ski Club, founded in 1924 in Mürren, Switzerland which stands as the first body of the times to admit women as equal members & skiing competitors.
More than a hub for sport, the Kandahar Club embodied the spirit of alpine fellowship—an ethos of shared adventure, timeless elegance, and respect for the mountains of the Alps. Richly intertwined with the history of Swiss ski culture and the Kandahar Club’s Murren origins, Alps & Meters’ W’s Ski Race Knit Sports Club boldly features the iconic Swiss cross as a as a tribute to the female pioneers of skiing and the traditions they helped establish at the turn of the 20th century. This emblem stands as a mark of excellence, adventure, and the unbreakable feminine bonds formed on snow-covered slopes.
Made in Italy and crafted of light & luxurious Italian cotton fibers, every stitch of this Spring & Summer knit honors those intrepid women who laid the foundation for modern alpine sport with warm camaraderie and in timeless style.
