Optical Excellence · Discover the Difference

Cutting-edge technology for brilliant observation

Alpen Optics uses premium ED glass elements and multi-layer broadband coatings that maximise light transmission while minimising colour fringing. The result: bright, sharp and true-to-life images – even at twilight. Every product is manufactured to strict quality standards and must pass rigorous testing before leaving the factory. The combination of first-class optics, robust materials and thoughtful ergonomics makes Alpen Optics the ideal choice for anyone who values dependable observation.

Spotting scopes – detail at long range

Alpen Optics spotting scopes enable precise observation at long distances – whether scouting game, conducting ornithological fieldwork or evaluating targets at the range. With high-quality lens systems and stable mechanics, they deliver edge-sharp, high-contrast images even at high magnification. The ergonomic design facilitates tripod work, while the weatherproof construction provides reliable protection against rain, dust and temperature fluctuations.

Rangefinders – precise distance measurement

With the Crestone XP rangefinder, Alpen Optics offers a compact device with an OLED display for fast, accurate distance readings. Whether hunting, golfing or surveying – the intuitive controls and high measurement accuracy make the Crestone XP a dependable companion whenever exact range data is required.

Sights & red dots – rapid target acquisition

The Argus LT red dot sights and the Nevada LT prism sight complement the Alpen Optics range with optics designed for rapid target acquisition. Compact, lightweight and equipped with a wide field of view, they are suited to dynamic shooting and hunting at short to medium distances.
