Skyway Montebianco, the new, futuristic cable car system of Mont Blanc that connects Courmayeur with Punta Helbronner, covering a difference in altitude of 2,200 metres.
An incredible feat of engineering: this is Skyway Montebianco, the new cableway of the Mont Blanc complex that allows you to reach Helbronner at 3,466 m starting from Pontal d'Entrèves 1,300 m, with a total difference in altitude of 2,200 m divided into two sections.
A breathtaking view, truly unique. Helbronner is the closest point to the summit of Mont Blanc reachable by means of transport and the starting point for numerous mountaineering routes to Mont Blanc. From here you can admire a good part of the 4000 of the Western Alps: Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn, the Gran Paradiso and the Grand Combin.
Ferrino has been selected as a technical partner to provide uniforms for all Skyway Montebianco staff. In order to cope with the different climatic variations typical of high mountains and in the difference in altitude between the departure station and the arrival point, we have made available the HighLab line, the result of constant research by the Ferrino R&D team, which tests the products in extreme conditions in the HighLab Ferrino research laboratory at the Quintino Sella refuge on Monte Rosa.
The highest outdoor store in Europe is located at Punta Helbronner (3,466 m)! And it is right here that you can find Ferrino backpacks, clothing and accessories. But not only that, the store at the Pavillon station, at an altitude of 2,173 m, also hosts a wide selection of Ferrino products suitable for your adventures on Mont Blanc.
Skyway's technical staff will also be equipped with garments from the HighLab line, featuring patented fabrics (such as Dry Release® Wool or PrimaLoft®) that guarantee maximum performance in terms of elasticity, insulation and water repellency thanks to the combination of wool with spandex fabric. For adventure lovers who require protection in extreme and non-extreme conditions, the HighLab line offers a wide choice of high-quality jackets, trousers and shirts. Identified by compressibility and softness, they are ideal for technical performance as they are characterised by extremely low weight, waterproof and breathable layers. They allow great freedom of movement in all sports activities and guarantee optimal performance even in the presence of humidity.
Ferrino awaits you as soon as possible on the Skyway Montebianco!
