Salomon celebrates its 75th anniversary and eco-responsible sport
An afternoon of activities and discovery to celebrate responsible outdoor sport, Wednesday June 29 on the Pâquier.
To celebrate its 75th anniversary, Salomon invites Annecy residents to meet on Wednesday June 29 at Le Pâquier from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., to celebrate together the outdoor sports that have been part of its history.
From its creation until today, the company has built on its Annecy roots to write a formidable human and sporting adventure, on shared values and this strong conviction that a greater connection with nature makes us better.
“75 years ago, Salomon was born in the heart of the mountains: Salomon’s story and its place in the outdoor industry today is in large part due to this ideal setting and its local communities,” explains Franco Fogliato, CEO of Salomon.
“Our teams are immersed in this environment, between nature, mountains and lake. As an outdoor enthusiast, I appreciate this environment which has been central in the creation of major product innovations and in the evolution of sports practices which have structured our industry for 75 years. I take this opportunity to grant all these communities who have participated in the development of Salomon, with a special mention for the town hall of Annecy for its contributions and support over the years. »
