At MILLET, we're committed to offering great outdoor experiences. After a trial run in avalanche prevention in winter, we decided to help you discover all aspects of the mountains with this beautiful century-old brand.
The thing is, it's a thousand times more fun to do it in expedition mode on a winter bivouac in the mountains, isn't it? That's MILLET adventure, and Jérémie and I have plenty of ideas for tackling every facet of the alpine world.
