Salewa presents highlights from its new Spring/Summer 2027 collection.
While climbing allows for the expression of technique, creativity, and a direct connection with the rock, via ferrata offers a more immediate and inclusive access to the vertical world. With Vertical Unlocked, Salewa connects these two experiences through a single approach, guiding enthusiasts from the approach to the most challenging climbing sections.
The heart of the collection is a selection of technical and versatile products, designed for those who want to naturally tackle access paths, rock faces and equipped routes.

A new interpretation of vertical sport
With the Vertical Unlocked collection, Salewa offers a broader vision of mountain sports, overcoming the traditional divisions between approach, via ferrata and climbing to create a natural continuity between the different disciplines.
The collection is designed for a new generation of enthusiasts who don’t identify with a single category, but with their own way of experiencing and interpreting the mountains. Climbing thus becomes exploration, freedom of expression, and direct contact with the rock, where every move represents a new discovery and every itinerary offers ever-changing experiences.
With Vertical Unlocked, Salewa returns to its alpine roots, reinterpreting them through contemporary design, innovative materials, and advanced technical solutions. The result is a collection that combines high performance and great versatility, making the vertical world even more accessible.
