This exceptional video from 1956 shows how Grivel ice axes and crampons were produced in those years.

Many things have changed since then, but the passion at Grivel remains the same, together with the understanding that experience and knowledge are fundamental to our everyday work.

The video comes from the Historical Film Library of the National Museum of the Mountain, Turin, Italy (www.museomontagna.org).

Directed by Mario Fantin, 1956.

Questo eccezionale filmato del 1956 mostra come venivano prodotte le nostre piccozze ed i nostri ramponi in quegli anni.

Tante cose sono ambiate da allora, ma la passione è la stessa, così come la consapevolezza che l’esperienza e la conoscenza sono ingredienti fondamentali del nostro lavoro di tutti i giorni.

Il filmato proviene dalla Cineteca Storica del Museo Nazionale della Montagna, Torino, Italia (www.museomontagna.org ).

Regia di Mario Fantin, 1956.
