Find the Right Tool
Every alpinist is different. Follow our guide, answer a few quick questions and find your perfect equipment
Since 1818, at the foot of Monte Bianco.
Forged in Courmayeur for the mountain above.
Before modern equipment, the ice axe was the essential mountain tool.
By the late 19th century, it had taken its recognisable form: an ash shaft chosen for strength and elasticity, and a forged head shaped for placement and grip on steep terrain.
Grivel pioneered the evolution of these tools specifically for alpinism, refining balance and geometry through real mountain use.
Today, that form remains. Traditional in appearance, yet shaped by modern construction standards and fully certified for classical mountaineering.
Selected ash shafts with vertical grain provide strength, balance, and natural elasticity.
Hot drop-forged heads are refined with contemporary tooth geometry for secure placement and reliable grip.
Each axe is manufactured to current alpine standards and fully certified for classical mountaineering and glacier routes.
