High elevation tests

Learn more about the high elevation tests made to perform the Sherpa series

 

During the summer 2002 our technical crew was involved in the tests necessary to perform the hi-elevation set-up for the new Sherpa model.

The field was a glacier on the Italian Alps located near the Switzerland's country border. The elevation was up to 3.500 metres (11.500 ft.) with a weather temp. up to 25 Celsius degrees (75 Fahrenheit degrees).

Here are some pictures.
