Founders Alessandro and Giovanna Dal Bello perfected their trade as ski boot building ''artisans'' at the Henke ski boot factory in Switzerland in the early 1960’s.

They knew that their ideas and creativity were not being efficiently utilized, and were confident that they could make a better business producing ski boots on their own. So, that's exactly what they did. The first Dalbello ski boots were sold in Austria in 1974.
