Whether it is mountain ice or frozen waterfalls, ice climbing is superb and always an ultra rewarding outdoor experience. The ‘thunk’ of your axes bedding into the ice, and the beauty of the mountains in winter is hard to beat.
The Haute Route ski tour has deservedly earned its reputation for being one of the worlds great ski adventures. Embark on an epic 6 day journey crossing spectacular glaciated terrain from Chamonix to Zermatt. Love your skiing? This is a must for you!

The Matterhorn is probably the most iconic peak out there in the mountains. Rising behind the charming town of Zermatt on the Swiss / Italian border this is a highly sought after summit for mountaineers and adventurers alike. Daring, dramatic and intimidating this is one of our favourite mountains to guide.
Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe, one of the 7 summits and is perfectly suited for expedition style mountaineering. A great way to get a taste of what it's like mountaineering at 5642m above sea level.
Monte Rosa lies on the border between Switzerland and Italy and is one of the best kept secrets in the Alps.
