Climbing in the Alps
Home to many of the most classic climbing routes in the world.
The Alps are the birth place of Alpinism. There is no other mountain range in the world with such history, easy access, beautiful diverse climbing, sharp summits, and unreal rock quality. The most unique thing about the Alps is that you can leave your hotel in the morning to climb a world class alpine mixed route high in the mountains and still return for a gourmet meal in town with views of your climb. The Alps are very special in many ways and the best way to explore them is with one of our friendly professional guides.

Have questions?
Below we have listed some general FAQs about our experiences. If you have any question or queries, please feel free to get in touch here.
Some of our most popular climbs are the Mattehorn, Mont Blanc, Deant du Geant, Cosmique Ridge, North pillar on Piz Badile and several other peaks and alpine routes in Chamonix, Bregaglia, Zermatt and Dolomites.
Depends on the objects, but a minimum of 5 days is necessary for aclimatizing and getting a decent chance on the object. Some peaks need even more time because of preparations and conditions.
Acclimatization we do together in the alps.
We recommend all of our guests having insurance that covers lost luggage and delayed/canceled flights, and insurance for mountain rescue. Either through an alpine club or with an insurance company.
You have to cover the expenses of lift cards, accommodation and transport for you and the guide during the stay.
