Alpine Mountaineering & Climbing
Since Brexit it has been very complicated for UK Guides to work in France, so we’re basing ourselves in the lovely Saas valley in Switzerland. This area of Switzerland has everything we need for Alpine climbing, including several 4000m peaks.
We design each course programme individually, but we give example itineraries to inspire you. We often have to adjust an itinerary because of weather, snow conditions, fitness, lack of acclimatisation, etc. If none of our programmes are exactly what you are looking for, then bespoke guiding is for you - we design a programme to suit your aspirations, your group size, and the time you have available. You can mix and match from the course programmes, for example we can design a longer itinerary for you that includes Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, or you can chose to do something completely different, such as the Mittelegi Ridge on the Eiger.
