Next course
Alpine Basics, 5 days
14 to 18 June 2027, Chamonix
We teach the mountains the slow way. Small groups, patient guides and routes chosen for the conditions, not the calendar. You leave with the skills to come back on your own terms.
Our approach
Rope work, day two of Alpine Basics
Snow arête above Zermatt, Valais
What we teach
Five ways into the mountains.
Pick a discipline to see how we teach it. Every course runs in small groups and adapts to the season, the snowpack and the people on the rope.
01
Mountaineering
Glacier travel, crampon and axe technique, crevasse rescue and moving together on a rope. We start on easy ice and finish on a real summit when conditions agree.
+
3 to 6 days, 4 guests per guide
+
Nights in a glacier hut included
How it works
From first rope to summit, one step at a time.
No guesswork and no pressure. A clear path that builds skill and confidence before the mountain asks for it.
