*Alpine Private Guiding Tailor made courses are available for all the itineraries above, as well as private guiding as usual in 5-6 day blocks throughout the summer. Standard Guiding Rates - apply for most alpine routes up to grade D (see notes below) and include guiding fees and use of the guides car (unless negotiated otherwise). Please note that we organise private guiding on a 'guiding fee plus expenses' basis - so when visiting areas away from our summer base in Chamonix, you must also cover guides' travel and accommodation expenses. Premium Guiding Rates For longer, more involved routes at grade D or above, premium guiding rates may apply and are paid as a supplement on a per route basis. As a guideline, routes that involve one of the following will generally fall into this category:
Eg. the Italian and Hornli Ridges on the Matterhorn are (at the upper end of) standard rate guiding routes, whereas the Zmutt Ridge and N Face are both premium rate routes for which we quote on an individual basis. If you have a particular big objective in mind, then please contact us for a quote so we can discuss the route, best time of year and conditions with you in more detail. Guides Expenses - you are responsible for meeting the guides travel and uplift costs and hut fees:
