Friendly, professional ski trips throughout the alps and beyond

Vertical Frontiers is run by experienced IFMGA Mountain Guide Ben Bradford. We are a team of Chamonix Mountain Guides & Ski Guides offering friendly, professional courses and ski trips throughout Europe and further afield

Off piste skiing and ski touring is our passion, both at work and for pleasure

Our Alpine base is Chamonix Mont Blanc, one of the most famous and popular off piste skiing destinations in the world. There are off piste ski descents for every ability including the spectacular Vallee Blanche where we organise guided descents regularly

Chamonix is also close to many other Alpine centres, and we travel to many nearby resorts to ski tour or find good off piste ski descents including Courmayeur, Megeve and Verbier

Throughout the winter and spring season we take our guests ski touring and ski mountaineering here in Chamonix such as on the classic skiers Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt as well as many other tours through out the western alps

We run many private trips as well as open courses for individuals wanting to join a group. Check the news page to keep up to date with our blog

An amazing three day trip with Ben, from rock climbing, scrambling ridges and summiting a 4000m peak. I'm only a beginner but Ben filled me with bags of confidence to push myself to attempts stuff I wouldn't of done normally. Can't reckoned Ben highly enough. One day he will get me to the top of the Matterhorn, if not certainly more 4000m peaks, maybe Nadelhorn next year. Great guide, great company, great fun.

Thanks Ben for an excellent 4 days of skills training. We thoroughly enjoyed progressing through our alpine skills, from being led to leading! We learned loads and now feel we have a good base to build on. Thanks also for all your additional guidance - from good places to eat to what to do when we finished our course and routes to look to in the future. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to use Vertical Frontiers again!

Thanks Ben for possibly the best day off piste powder skiing in 20 years…Just awesome thank you, when can I come back?!!
Sally, Chamonix 2016
I would like to thank Ben for some excellent ski guiding earlier this year. We booked several days off piste skiing, with the highlight being the Vallee Blanche, for my son's birthday. An excellent couple of days, learnt loads of stuff, and felt much more confident about my skiing afterwards. Ben is super nice, very competent and we will definitely book some more guiding in the future!

I did two weekend trad courses with Matt on Dartmoor. First time I wasn't fortunate enough to equip myself and use the skills I learnt but still had a fantastic weekend an enjoyed every aspect. Super friendly, helpful and calm instruction!
Tommi Tresidder - Dartmoor Rock Climbing
Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for an epic day. Dave and I had a blast and definitely opened our eyes to what this place is all about.

 Not every day in the mountains needs to involve a 4,000m summit or a huge objective — classic rock & alpine ridges around Chamonix.

 Guiding the Grand Combin traverse, taking in all three summits in superb high-alpine conditions.
