SALEWA PRESS KIT SS26
YOU CHOOSE THE PACE. LISTENING TO YOUR BODY, YOUR BREATH, YOUR HEARTBEAT. FOLLOWING YOUR OWN RHYTHM, FINDING YOUR OWN FREQUENCY. SHARING THE VIBE. YOU SET THE TONE, OF YOUR HIKE.

For Spring/Summer 2026, Salewa is maintaining its focus on speed hiking. It’s not about racing, but the individual experience – following your own rhythm, moving at your own pace, in touch with your body and surroundings. Mindful movement, balancing dynamic activity with calm, reflective moments – seizing the freedom to choose your own path.

The Salewa Spring/Summer 2026 collection focuses on three core attributes: lightness, protection, and dynamism. The products are designed to be used as versatile, year-round outfits – suitable for changeable weather conditions, challenging terrain, and relaxed hikes. This sense of movement is also reflected in the designs with their clean lines, modern cuts, and warm colours that create a sporty look that combines lightness, functionality, and style.

SET THE TONE

With its SS26 campaign, SET THE TONE (of your hike), Salewa is addressing three different groups of speed hikers, based on their distinctive characteristics and requirements – each with a tailored outfit designed to meet their specific needs:

  • GLEAMERS seek calm and mindfulness in nature – for a slower, more meditative experience.
  • HIKERS enjoy dynamic movement, adaptability, and balancing physical and mental wellbeing on the trail.
  • ESCAPISTS thrive on freedom and speed – moving fast over trails and beyond, with lightweight, high-performance gear.

Three characters, three paces – accompanied by three custom soundtracks created by Godblesscomputers. Each track with its own tempo (BPM), reflecting these different approaches to experiencing speed hiking – from calm, to energetic, to intense.

 

With its SS26 collection and SET THE TONE (of your hike), Salewa invites all mountain enthusiasts to redefine speed hiking – as their own personal expression of embracing freedom and connecting with nature. Whether mindful, active, or adventurous – we all set our own pace and determine the rhythm of our journey.
