With #project360, Swiss mountaineering specialist Mammut opens up the mountains of this world virtually and visually - from a climber's point of view and directly from the wall. The images for this are provided by a specially developed backpack with six cameras for a complete all-round view. Professional alpinists and Mammut employees have carried the camera backpacks to over 30 mountains worldwide since the beginning of 2014. Of these, five tours are now online: Eiger North Face (CH), Matterhorn Hörnligrat (CH), El Capitan (USA), Elbrus (RUS) and the Rübezahl Icefall (CH). The resulting 360° images and movies are available on www.project360.mammut.ch and as an app for Android and iOS.

A special alpine backpack with six cameras gives a new mountain experience.The images make it possible for everyone to experience the legendary tours step by step online and tangibly convey the fascination of the famous mountains: With just a few clicks, the user moves through the walls, looks up or down and can study the course of the route from close up. Spectacular images of famous mountains are only one aspect of #project360: The extraordinary views of the tours also contribute to a unique and novel user experience. Among other things, the 360° views on smartphones and tablets can be controlled by their movement alone. The user becomes part of the rope team and looks directly over the shoulder of the climbers.The video on Project360:
