Alpine Summer Courses
Our Alpine courses are based from Chamonix, Haute Savoie, France and include adventures to the Swiss and Italian Alps.
Chamonix is a bustling mountain town and well worth a visit. Its amazing network of cable cars and mountain railways allows quick access to the high summits. All this makes Chamonix an ideal mountaineerig base. It is supplemented with good road and rail links to Switzerland and Italy. Geneva airport has many international flights and is about one hours drive time away. Milan Airport is a bit further but also well serviced by many of the worlds favorite airlines.
We offer walking, mountaineering, rock climbing, technical alpine climbing, ice climbing, off-piste skiing and ski mountaineering trips depending on conditions and the time of year. We regularly guide Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau and Gran Paridiso and of course many other mountains and technical routes in between. The area has also good access to wonderful rock climbing crags and a profusion of walking trails.
We specialise in private mountain guiding as well as all the adventures listed on these web pages.
All our Team Ascent mountain guides are qualified UIAGM/IFMGA mountain guides and for all our other walking trips that avoid high mountain glaciers you willl be led by qualified International Mountain Leaders.
