Alpine Mountaineering

alpine mountaineering courses and guiding

Our Alpine mountaineering courses include all the great classics of the Alps such as Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Eiger - in addition to introductory alpine mountaineering courses, swiss 4000m peaks, north faces and winter alpine climbing. We carefully plan and grade all itineraries, so you can develop your personal skills and take on new and bigger challenges each time you climb with us. If you are unsure whether you match the 'ability and experience' description for a particular trip and would like some more advice - then just get in touch for a chat and we'll be glad to help.

Private Guiding 
A significant part of our alpine program involves custom itineraries for private clients. If you'd like a personalised version of one of our regular courses, or a one off special just for you - then we offer a full private guiding service with our senior team. Just contact us to discuss your plans and ambitions and we'll design a bespoke itinerary to your particular requirements.

Important
Please remember, you need both the required fitness level and mountain experience level in order to enjoy a particular course - as our guides have to judge your abilities before embarking on any serious ascent (current weather and mountain conditions are also taken into account). If they decide that a particular objective should not be attempted, then a good alternative will always be offered. If your fitness or skills are in doubt however, we may have to exclude you from certain activities. It is very unusual for us to have to do this, but it can occur if you are not realistic about your current experience or fitness levels - or you do not prepare sufficiently for the trip.
