Bernese Oberland - Switzerland

This is an advanced 6 day tour for those who have been touring before. We are in high mountain glaciated terrain, overnighting in basic but comfortable mountain huts on a half board basis. Everyday involves 4-6 hours uphill, but promises the most impressive peaks and best descents in the Oberland. details

Gran Paradiso - Italy

This is an intro/intermediate tour ideal for those who have done a Backcountry week with us, or some day touring. The Gran Paradiso day is long (5 hours up) but the others are more manageable (2-4 hours up). Everyday involves superb ski descents and impressive views. We spend 3 nights in basic but comfortable mountain huts, with a hotel night in the middle. The first half of the week is nonglaciated, which keeps our packs lighter. details

Classic Haute Route - Chamonix to Zermatt

The most famous ski tour in the world! A fantastic journey through the Alps, with long uphills and descents and stunning views... We spend six days in the mountains, overnighting in mountain huts. This is an intermediate tour for those with some previous day touring experience. details

Ski safari is always a favorite for those keen skiers who like their powder untouched and a bit further into the mountains. Travelling across country, using a combination of ski-lifts and leg work to access the best backcountry descents available. We run these on a custom basis through the Chamonix region and Gressoney/Alagna region in Italy.

Private Guiding We are available for private guiding or to run a bespoke trip just for you!
