The Faber Sommet Snowshoe was created by blending the premiere features of our running & backcountry snowshoes in order to bring you the lightest mountaineering snowshoe on the market. The Sommet comes equipped with a superior binding, our lightest frame and decking combination, our best heel lifter and burly crampons. This snowshoe is built for day hikes in mountainous conditions and fitness hikes on icy and unpredictable terrain.
