Upcoming Adventure Tours in the Alps
Climb Mont Blanc
Climb Mont Blanc (4808m), the highest peak in Western Europe. It’s a beautiful, imposing, and highly sought-after summit that sits at the roof of the Alps on the border of France and Italy. If your adventure juices are flowing, then keep on reading...
The Tour du Mont Blanc is a 170 km trekking trail through France, Italy and Switzerland. Circumnavigating Western Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, it is one of the world’s most famous classic multi day treks and is on every serious hiker’s bucket list. This 11 day self-guided version covers each stage of the trek, making it the 'complete' journey around the full trail.
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.
Experience the best of the Tour du Mont Blanc trails, trekking through France, Italy and Switzerland in just 4 days, for those that are looking for a shorter trip. Jam-packed with some of the best bits of the whole Tour du Mont Blanc, this trip has been designed in order to have an incredible trekking experience.
The Haute Route ski tour has deservedly earned its reputation for being one of the world's 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!
This trip is designed to introduce keen and competent off-piste skiers to the exciting world of ski touring. If you’re confident skiing variable terrain off-piste but have never used ski touring gear, this is the perfect next step.
You don’t need any previous ski touring experience, but you must be a solid off-piste skier — comfortable navigating steeper slopes, mixed snow conditions, and making controlled turns outside of groomed runs. This foundation will allow you to focus on learning the touring side of things.
This is an ideal preparation course for anyone looking to join one of our full ski touring adventures in the future.
Our popular Alpine Skills course set in the shoulder seasons, which are wilder, colder, often snowy and far quieter than the busy summer months in the Alps. The focus is on learning essential mountain skills such as crevasse rescue, ice climbing, roping up on glaciers all in a high mountain environment.
Discover the breathtaking beauty of Slovenia’s Julian Alps as you embark on an unforgettable trek through Triglav National Park. This exhilarating journey will take you to the summit of Slovenia’s highest peak, lead you through the stunning Triglav Lakes Valley, reveal nature’s most awe-inspiring wonders, and offer you the experience of staying in traditional mountain huts.
At Adventure Base, we are specialists in creating and delivering bespoke, once-in-a-lifetime experiences in breathtaking environments for a whole variety of groups. With decades of knowledge in adventure event management, we pride ourselves on bringing groups together to create lasting memories.
Founded by world-renowned adventurer and 14-time Everest summiteer Kenton Cool, we've delivered some unforgettable tailor-made experiences in the Alps for some of the UK's leading companies and groups.
If there’s only one thing you need to know about us, it’s that there's nothing we enjoy more than helping people explore and enjoy the mountains. That's why we spend all our time dreaming up and creating adventures for us all to enjoy. Why? Because life's better once you've been in the mountains.
With an office in Chamonix, France, we live and breathe mountain life. When our team aren't in the office building great trips, they're out running the trails, climbing peaks or skiing fresh lines in the mountains.
“Having led countless teams up and down mountains for over 20 years, I can truly say there is nothing quite like the bond formed during these experiences. It lasts a lifetime. I couldn’t be more confident in the service our operations teams and guides deliver, no matter how big or small your mountain objectives. We’ve worked extremely hard to build a company with pedigree, helped by decades of expertise, all the while doing everything with our trademark personal approach. We are looking forward to helping you enjoy the mountains with us.”
The Guides that Make Our Alps Adventure Tours World-Class
All the guides we work with are well known to us and handpicked for their ability, personality and experience. They've climbed mountains across the globe and led groups in some of the most stunning environments.
