A beginner’s guide to the spectacular high mountain environment, led by an excellent English speaking IFMGA-qualified High Mountain Guide.
More than a simple sport, mountaineering is a true adventure experience. Guided by an expert English speaking IFMGA High Mountain Guide, you’ll learn the basics of mountaineering at high altitude over rock, snow and ice. A superb experience for those who’ve ‘done it all’, mountaineering is a breath of fresh air requiring complete focus and enabling a total disconnection from everyday stresses. An introduction to mountaineering is a great way to connect with others and a fantastic opportunity to bring together friends, couples, teenagers and parents. No experience is required, though a moderate level of fitness is recommended. Equipment is provided, exept for the hiking shoes that you have to bring.
