À l’origine de Petzl, il y a la volonté de ses fondateurs d’être au service d’une passion: l’exploration. Depuis ses débuts dans la spéléologie, sa vocation est la même: imaginer des outils concrets pour permettre à l’Homme de se dépasser. Aujourd’hui l’esprit pionnier, la passion de l’exploration, les valeurs n’ont pas changé.
Plus de quarante ans après, Petzl conçoit toujours des outils et des solutions pour permettre aux sportifs et professionnels de s’engager, de jour comme de nuit, dans les milieux les plus inaccessibles.
