Montane is run by people with a passion for outdoor performance sports in challenging and inspiring places. Whether running or biking, hiking or climbing the characteristics required from performance clothing are the same.

LIGHTWEIGHT … By reducing weight and pack size of all Montane clothing to the lowest achievable levels, the outdoor experience is further enhanced. Less energy is wasted carrying your clothing and more space is available for other essential items like food or equipment.

AND BREATHABLE … In all active-use outdoor situations the essential requirement of comfortable clothing is to prevent the weather entering your clothing, and at the same time allow your sweat and excess body heat to easily escape.

Almost 18 000 people live in the municipality with close proximity to work, services and nature.

The wilderness offers great opportunities for leisure and experiences beyond the ordinary, all year round.

The place brand also constitutes a collaborative platform for all the local destinations and tourism entrepreneurs in Norrbotten county and the municipalities Skellefteå and Sorsele.
