A brief history ...

Kortel Design is a paragliding equipment brand founded in the late 90s by Denis Cortella, a demanding pilot who decided to design and manufacture the product of his dreams himself. It all started in a small town in the commune of St-Gervais, at the foot of Mont Blanc, where Denis transformed his living room into a sewing room to sew the straps and prototypes of his future products. The kitchen of the apartment became the gathering point for all the friends who came to discuss, lend a hand and place an order for their future harness.

Over the years, Kortel Design has become a recognized company in the paragliding market, thanks to its technical expertise and ability to surprise. The brand has launched several innovative and unusual products, such as the K1 in its early days, and more recently the Kanibal Race, which has set the standard in the world of competition, and the Karver, which challenged conventional wisdom by being the first harness .
Kortel Design has also developed a complete range of peripheral products to increase pilot safety and provide them with an unforgettable flying experience.

In addition to its technical performance, Kortel Design is committed to sustainability and product quality.

Indeed, the harness is the interface between the pilot and the glider, it allows to feel the air mass and improve the flying experience.
