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

We had a great experience skiing with Ben and his team for a full 5 day off piste course. Really good at making the most of the opportunities even quite some time after the last snow fall. Got really lucky with a big dump towards the end of the week and had a glorious two days skiing powder at the Grand Montets and Le Tour. A mix of short, in resort descendt and more adventurous itineries.
Mikkel Vejlgaard - Chamonix Freeride Trip 2019
Ben and his Vertical Frontiers guides have taken me from a summit-less newbie to accomplishing the Matterhorn. Over three summers he has shown me some beautifully quite and tucked away summits in L'Eveque and Pigne d'Arolla, guided me to the summit of Mont Blanc despite unplanned disruptions to our plans and most recently four 4,000+ summits over five days, culminating with the Matterhorn. Ben is highly dependable, conscious of your skill level and capable of planning expeditions that pushes you just enough to challenge and develop your capabilities. I cannot recommend him more highly and count down the days to getting out on another expedition with Vertical Frontiers.
Rob K - Matterhorn 2016
Two great and varied days out, felt very comfortable and learned some new skills along the way, which was exactly what I wanted!
Paul S - Chamonix Climbing 2018
Ben is a fantastic guide and always delivers a great trip. He's very knowledgeable and is happy to share his insights with his clients. We enjoyed a memorable trip ski touring in the high mountains above Saas Fee in May, bagging a few 4000+m peaks.
Tim Mace - Saas Fee Ski trip 2019
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!
Siobahn - Alpine Skills 2018
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.

 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.
