28 March – 3 April 2022
the Pow Mobility Week Challenge 2022
The transport sector is Europe’s second largest emitter of greenhouse gases; contributing more than a quarter of all emissions on the continent. Within the tourism sector, transport accounts for 75% of the global emissions and is one of the major contributions to climate change from the outdoor activities we all love. Transport is therefore a key part of our strategic plan for 2022 and it was great to kick off the year’s actions with #POWMobilityWeek.
Designed to raise awareness of the impact our travel emissions have on our planet, drive cultural change through promoting the use of sustainable transport choices and have some fun on the way, we were stoked to have you join us in this action.
POW Mobility Week has been registered as an action for the European Commission’s awareness-raising campaign European Mobility Week 2022, which takes place in September.
Total sustainable kilometers tracked during POW Mobility Week:
A Total of 20 040 KM were tracked sustainably during POW Mobility Week by 5 teams on Active Giving. The same as travelling half way around the world.
POW Team tracked 14689 km
Burton Team tracked 1103 km
Picture Organic Clothing Team tracked 1715 km
deuter Team tracked 2259 km
Klean kanteen Team tracked 274 km
What happened during the week
Jérémie Heitz and Sam Anthamatten speeding down the Northwest Face of Lenzspitze (4294m🇨🇭) with Guido Perrini nailing the incredible shot for La Liste Ski Movie. The line has a vertical change of around 550m and a sustained slope between 50° and 53°. Truly a gem 💪🏼💎

Living in the arctic north means I always have to double or triple up my travels. A summerholiday is not just a trip south for summer, its usually 2 months of living and working down south. And all worktravels are grouped up with multiple missions in one. This March I even managed to fit in a wonderful trip to vatnahalsenhotell with a fantastic group of scientists, leaders and athletes for #tarfalathinktank
It’s not always possible to take all travels with train - but I always try.

Solo weekend in Disentis/ Andermatt was sweet, got some nice cold turns, connected to mountains and shadows, opened up a few valleys and got to dance between the moon and the sun.
🌝💃🏻🌞
Deepest gratitude for being able to do this

This is a post about cycling to work, not about my incredible inadequacy as a cyclist (trust me, I am very aware).
#powmobilityweek #mobilityweek2022
So when I started my new job; in a small town, at the foot of the Dolomites at the beginning of the summer (more on that another time)…
I decided I would do something quite counter-productive but true to my values - to not buy a car.
To contextualize a bit for those who have never lived in a small town in the mountains in Italy…
🚌 public transport is iffy
🚂 The closest train station is 8km away but there is no train
🚳 and of course, cycle lanes are not a thing.
Seeing as I live about 12 km (11.8 if you want to be accurate about it) away from my office and public transport isn’t an option with my schedule, my only option really - was cycling.
So I bought my first ever bike and it has a tiny motor, that helps me get up the tiny hill, and gain all the vertical meters that await me on my journey every day (305mt. for anyone who is counting).
I spent all summer cycling to work and the results are in;
✨ 1000 kilometers
🌱 263 kg CO2eq NOT EMITTED
🟠 A very satisfied Gio (who also sometimes is very tired, sweaty and rain-soaked)
This to say that I am proud of myself for having committed to my values, I’m super lucky to have an amazing route to peddle every day, and when you can choose which method of transport you take, you know what to do 😉 (🚲🏄🚌🚣♂️🛴🚆).
Fingers🤞 for this Fall and Winter.
Thanks, thealmightycrown for my super accurate Carbon emission calculation!

Massive congratulations to @andrealamuerte_stt who was voted the winner in our @iamspecialized video competition for #POWMobilityWeek. Check out his week of sustainable travel in this cool edit.
Enjoy your new ride @Andrea!
Loving my family of stormtroopers ❄️💙
- and we all loved visiting #låktatjåkko fjällstation - where you can sleep above 1228 in the windiest mountain range of Lapland.
I think indeed Låkta means windy, but please correct me if not - regardless, here we enjoyed the best food, friendliest company and most relaxed atmosphere I’ve found so far in the #Swedishmountains 🙏🏽
Thank you Låktatjåkko!
Are you still in winter mode or already spring? 🌱🎿

Settimana scorsa era #POWMobilityWeek nella ultima POW FACTory abbiamo esplorato il tema della mobilità nella pratica outdoor.
Per poter #ProtectThePlacesWeLove
Insieme agli studenti del istituto_alberti_bormio e la nostra #ScienceAlliance abbiamo esplorato;
👉il legame fra il mondo outdoor e il cambiamento climatico
👉 come praticare le #CleanOutdoor attività (mitigando il proprio impatto ecologico durante la pratica delle attività outdoor)
👉 in modo pratico come gli studenti possono anche loro #ProtectThePlacesWeLove
Gli studenti hanno fatto una gita al Rifugio Branca e poi al Ghiacciaio Forni a #bassoimpattoambientale
Usando mezzi pubblici, e-bike fatbikemotion e poi completando l’ultima tratta della gita con una bella pellata fino al ghiacciaio, svolgendo un'esercitazione di sicurezza in montagna.
Grazie al supporto della nostra #ScienceAlliance hauolirasta , l’organizzazione di kicigonczol arrigocanclini panizzandrea

As a part of Narvik’s and Norway’s bid for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 2027 they focus on mobility actions during the Norwegian Alpine Ski Championships that takes place in Narvik in the period March 30th – April 5th. Especially the potential for ride sharing to the ski area and competition arena for the many volunteers (around 300 people) that were a part of the event.
Their objective was to reduce the number of cars that pass through the city of Narvik during the course of the event and to also avoid a chaotic parking situations at the ski area.
The “we are Elements”, distributor for Klean Kanteen in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg & France called upon employees to commute by bike and track their non-fossil fuel burning activities through the Active Giving app to fund POW.
They shared POW Mobility Week on social media channels to create awareness around the subject of transport emissions.
