He was very professional and careful to warn us of dangers and keep us informed and we felt very safe in his hands.

New for 2027: ski touring in Western Finnmark, Norway. From 9–16 May, six days of ski touring among the mountains and fjords.
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.
Dent de Tsalion and Aiguille de la Tsa — a brilliant day on steep Arolla granite.
Summit day on the Matterhorn — classic alpine mountaineering on one of the iconic peaks of the Alps.
An early alpine start and a Gran Paradiso ascent in crisp late-summer conditions.
We are open for enquires 7 days a week all year, we check and respond to emails once a day during the high season
