CLEANER MOUNTAINS

THE PERSONALITIES OF THE COLLECTIVE

The personalities of the Summit Foundation Collective bring together inspiring men and women: athletes, adventurers, entrepreneurs, artists and photographers, who share a strong bond with the mountains and nature, and choose to put their image and voice at the service of their protection.

United by common values and a desire to act concretely, they commit alongside Summit Foundation to raise awareness, inspire and mobilize as many people as possible in the face of environmental issues that affect our living and passion areas.

François Marclay
Photographer
"By picking up litter so often along our rivers and hiking trails in the summer, and on the slopes in winter and after the snow melts, Summit Foundation's commitment has always seemed obvious to me. Joining their Collective and carrying its message for the preservation of our mountains and natural environment is a modest but essential contribution."

Diego Rapin
Mom, freeride snowboarder, wingsuit and glacier pilot
"I discovered Lake Geneva and the mountains later in life. Since then, they have become much more than just a playground – an obvious thing to preserve and cherish. So that we and future generations can continue to experience their beauty, I have chosen to commit myself alongside Summit Foundation."

Zelfino
Painter
"Zelfino is a Swiss painter who explores the mountains by attributing emotion, color, texture and medium to them, making each work a sensitive and immersive interpretation of these landscapes. Through his work, he expresses a sincere and almost meditative attachment to Alpine landscapes. He attaches essential importance to the preservation and cleanliness of the mountains, a direct reflection of the unconditional love he has for them."
Instagram
Cyril Neri
Wild Child grown up
"The call of the mountains made me migrate to the Alps over thirty years ago. I have dedicated most of my life to the mountains while wondering what attracted me so much to them. And then I understood. It was not simply the powder fields to glide on, nor the impenetrable forests to get lost in. What called me so strongly was the possibility of traveling through a raw environment, untouched by any trace of civilization (or almost). To witness timeless moments, like at the dawn of the World. So when I come across filth, my blood boils at first, then I calm down by picking up this trash. At my own level, little by little, I clean up what can be cleaned. And I feel better."
