The sustainability trekking mission is back!!
This annual must-attend event for our Simond trekking product developments returns this year, still during the same period (April-May), with the same format but on different routes from previous years.
Our AMM (mountain guides) have crafted an incredible program to combine product testing and an unforgettable trekking experience.
Hereâs the game plan:
You will embark on a trek for 15 days with 9 other participants and our 2 AMM!
You will be equipped with prototypes currently under development, almost from head to toe.
Your role: Enjoy the trek, test our products, and be a co-creator by providing us with regular feedback during your adventure 
Profile sought: We are missing WOMEN 
You are accustomed to mountain treks and you can walk for 5/6 hours a day in all temperatures and weather, with elevation (up to 1700 m of positive elevation gain per day, averaging 1000 m per day), carrying a 50L/70L backpack loaded with over 12kg. Excellent physical condition is absolutely necessary!
