Intelligent Light.

Light under control: Beam intensity and reach at your fingertips.

Mammut’s leading-edge Lucido light technology guarantees superb comfort and complete reliability – and with X-Zoom, Mammut is first on the block with a zoomable LED headlamp.

Event Highlight

Fire Show

Once night had fallen, Simon H. Spoonwing became an entertainer extraordinaire and presented a stunning fire show with the mountains as backdrop. As the flames leapt, his audience really warmed to him!

Mammut Mountain Wear

When The Going Gets Tough – Be Flexible.

Extremely safe. Extremely functional. That’s always been the case with Mammut’s Extreme line-up. Now it offers enhanced flexibility with c_change, the first membrane with pores that open and close with the ambient temperature. Its responsive water vapor permeability keeps the wearer comfortable whatever the activity.

Event Highlight

Base jumping Base-jump pioneer Ueli Gegenschatz is seen here in his wingsuit doing an extreme jump down the side of Mt. Wetterhorn. It took the onlookers’ breaths away – but not Ueli.

Totally relaxed, he looks like he just got out of bed...

Mammut Accessories

Quality – It’s In The Detail.

Professionals know that what seem like little details can make all the difference. The body loses most of its warmth through the extrem­ ities. Effective protection is essential, but success or failure on the mountain also depends on the ability to maintain a sense of touch, and on the functionality and durability of the ac­ cessories.

Mammut Backpacks

Practical – Especially When You’re Up Against It. The worse the weather, the clearer the intelligence of Mammut’s backpack designs. Take the lockable and glove-friendly Cyberian buckles, for instance. Or the back’s smooth, snow-shedding fabric outer, the ability to customize the pack thanks to detachable features or the benefit of being able to attach skis and snowboards.

Event Highlight

Expedition Antarctica What better to accompany a mouthwatering asado than music – and thrilling tales courtesy of Evelyne Binsack, a Swiss mountain guide who recounted the trip that took her through 16 countries from the Bernese Oberland to the South Pole. All were enthralled by her exploits – endless days cycling, hiking amongst 5k and 6k peaks in the Andes, and the final 1180-kilometer tramp to the South Pole.

«Great organization, great activities, great photo shoot – hats off!» . . . it sounds like an advert, but it’s actually a quote from Danielle of Germany.

She and 200 other test participants of all nationalities spent an unforgettable weekend with Mammut brimful of fun and action. Mammut’s Lucido headlamps were on hand to ensure no one was left in the Grindelwald dark.

Absolute alpine. Absolute fun!

«My 1000 kilometers have been worth it!»

Frank from the Netherlands really enjoyed himself, too. On Saturday, May 24, 2008, he and the other Mammut test participants tried their hand at climbing, bouldering, slacklining, bungee jumping and Tyrolean traversing. Stef Siegrist carried out a base jump from a helicopter, and the intrepid Ueli Gegenschatz completed a fearsome wingsuit flight down the Wetterhorn. This was followed by an evening meal featuring an asado and some cool unplugged music, after which people slowly switched off their headlamps. Later, Lucido helped everyone find their way back to their tents in the dark.
