Mammut needs to hire a better marketing staff/consultant IMO. Mammuts photo advertisements turn me off but hey it could just be me and my mountains as wilderness and escape notions.

Thanks Peter. Interesting and creative but also illustrates why i eschew climbing in the Alps and seek the path less travelled by.

It's like synchronized swimming and the Alps are the pool!
Definitely a euro thing. Safety in numbers? I think they just like bobbling around the mountains in well organized groups. Snazzy color-coordinated outfits can be taken home and worn for any occasion. Like it or not, there is brilliant execution here.
I like the picture with fisheye lens looking straight down on to the summit.

Yeah. A completely different view on Man In Nature, for sure.
So much for the 19c Romantic Conjecture, where a man or woman applies his/her specific critical genius, all alone and specifically as an individual, arriving at immense yet hidden truths. As Tarbuster says just above, a synchronized swimming optic on wilderness and positioning the Alps as a dough-boy swimming pool. Reminiscent of Blue Man Group, even, but red!
An earlier way of looking at the subject (not new to many of us here):

I agree, Fort.
It is interesting that at first Photoshop and its brethren had such power early on and today imagery that smells anything like photo manipulation at such high levels is quickly experienced as repellent and perhaps irritating. Even if the image in question is a true-blue, as-shot “real” image.

Only one thing could add to this photoshoot and that would be naked Indian call girls photo- bombing the event...
