On July 31, 1954, the Vibram Carrarmato sole – invented and patented by Vitale Bramani in 1937 – was on the feet of the Italian climbers who reached the summit of K2, the first to scale the 8,611 meters of the world’s second-highest peak.

This achievement resonated as a victory, not only in the mountaineering world but for all of Italy. A feat that left its mark in the history of global alpinism.


Timing: Thursday, November 14th, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Location: Cinema Eden, Montebelluna

The challenge is clear: the environmental and social solutions of the near future will require not only innovation but also synergy among companies, institutions, and communities.

We will discuss how, through resource and knowledge sharing, ecodesign, and life cycle analysis, we can reduce the impact of our operations and accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and responsible future.


Timing: Thursday, November 14th, 9:00 PM
Location: Cinema Eden, Montebelluna

Title: ODYSSEA BOREALIS with Matteo Della Bordella.

An extraordinary journey to a land at the edge of the world. An unconventional and pure approach that immerses the protagonists in a setting where a deep connection with the environment redefines the concept of modern exploration.

In a still partially unexplored region of Greenland, four mountaineers seek the essence of travel through autonomy and slowness. Moving with care, they blend instinct and reason to manage their limited resources. In this challenge, they rediscover their primal nature, adapting to the rhythm of untouched wilderness.

The balance within the group becomes essential for survival in an extreme environment—fragile, yet simultaneously strong and unforgiving.


Timing: Friday, November 15th, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Location: Vibram Mobile Lab Piazza dall’Armi, Montebelluna
Run with us and try an evening training session alongside Vibram Team athletes Gediminas Grinius and Natalia Mastrota. A unique opportunity to hear their advice, challenge yourself, and connect with other trail running enthusiasts.

You will also have the chance to test the new range offered by Merrell and discover all its features: Long Sky 2, Agility Peak 5, and Skyfire 2 are waiting for you.

A good familiarity with running is required, and the use of a headlamp is necessary to ensure safety during the activity.

Location: Cinema Eden, Montebelluna

Title: Docufilm Everest With Three Fingers

Everest is the perfect metaphor, nothing is impossible.

Join us for an extraordinary evening with Andrea, where he will revisit his Everest achievement through a documentary film.

At the Vibram Connection Days in Montebelluna, Robert Fliri, the creator of Vibram FiveFingers, will be present to guide participants through a unique experience:

"Conscious Walking" – a brief introduction to human bipedal locomotion, followed by a light walk through the city. This journey will help you understand how our feet and bodies work, exploring different walking styles and the role footwear can play in making them both effective and enjoyable.

For the active outdoor portion of the experience, we will provide you with a pair of Vibram FiveFingers. Before heading out, we'll prepare together with an indoor session done entirely barefoot. However, we also recommend bringing your favorite walking shoes so you can try both approaches and feel the differences. Last but not least: bring along your curiosity and questions.

Schedule:

3:00 PM Meeting at Vibram Workspace Montebelluna

3:15 PM Introduction to the Vibram world and the history of Vibram FiveFingers shoes
Shoe fitting

3:30 PM Training session with Robert Fliri

4:30 - 5:00 PM Refreshments inside the Vibram Workspace Feedback collection: on the product and activity, distribution of discount coupons

Note: Vibram FiveFingers shoes are not complimentary.

We recommend everyone arrive dressed in sportswear, and bring a water bottle and a towel.
