MILLET – AT A GLANCE

Headquartered in Annecy, France, deeply rooted in the French Alps, and with a unique presence in Chamonix 365 days a year, Millet has been a pioneer in mountaineering equipment since its founding in 1921. For over 100 years, the brand has combined innovation with authentic Alpine spirit. One of the milestones was in 1950 when the legendary French alpinist Louis Lachenal co-developed the first mountaineering backpack by Millet – the very same backpack he used during the historic first ascent of Annapurna (8,091 m), the world’s first 8,000-meter peak to be summited.

Since then, Millet has been synonymous with the highest quality in mountain sports, alpinism, climbing, and ski touring. The brand is particularly known for its innovative backpacks, technical clothing, and high-performance mountain sports equipment, which are valued by professionals worldwide and tested under extreme conditions – including expeditions in the Himalayas and on the most challenging routes in the Alps. The products from Millet, rooted in Chamonix and proven on the highest peaks of the world, have been a staple in professional mountaineering for decades and continue to be the first choice of alpinists, mountain guides, and rescue services worldwide.
