Mammuts CEO perched himself on Eigers North Face to announce a photo contest — and then hide a camera.
The attention-grabbing video announces the brands 2025 photo contest, in which Mammut encourages photographers to capture their summer by getting outside and adventuring.
There are six contest categories, each rewarding a photographer with Mammut gear, a guided mountain experience including accommodation, and more. The grand prize winner also receives two plane tickets to Switzerland with SWISS, a guided mountain experience with ZERMATTERS, and a Leica SL2-S camera.
To add more incentive, the brand has stashed 24 gear packages around the world. That apparently includes the camera shown in the vid below.
Finders, Keepers The stashed gear is part of Mammuts Finders, Keepers campaign, which sees outdoor athletes (and Mammut CEO Heiko Schäfera) hide gear packages dubbed Adventure Kits in secret locations across the globe. The 24 kits hold more than $66,000 in outdoor gear combined and are waiting to be discovered in secret spots around the globe — indoors and outdoors.
Each day, an influencer will announce the contents of another kit. Mammuts social media feeds will then follow up with clues to its location. The roster of international outdoor stars and creators includes Adam Ondra, Jérémie Heitz, Brendan Carberry, Lena Drapella, and Katie Burrell.
Technically, the campaign is separate from the photo contest. However, as you can see, a Leica camera is one of the hidden treasures.
