The French / Swiss Alps Climbing & Skiing

Europe, and particularly the French and Swiss Alps, is known for it's wide array of climbing and skiing opportunities. From Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, there are a number of classic climbs and tours to pique your interest. The climbing and skiing in the Alps is more fun because we eliminate arduous approaches with heavy packs. By utilizing mountain huts we eliminate the need for sleeping bags and cooking. The huts provide dinners and breakfasts as well as bunks with blankets and mattresses. These are also great trips to bring along a non-climbing spouse. We offer both a Haute Route Ski Traverse and and Alps Alpine Classics Trip in this unparalelled mountain range.

*All of our trips in Europe are led by IFMGA Mountain Guide Mark Allen.

*If our scheduled climbs do not fit your needs, we can also schedule private dates.
