Guides and Instructors
No Mountain Guiding company can claim success without excellent Guides and Instructors and we consider our Mountain Staff to be the best in the international climbing and guiding community. As well, our company is owned, managed and operated by professional Mountain Guides certified through the IFMGA and ACMG - we are truly a Guides company.

A quality Mountain Experience
Our first climbing and avalanche safety programs in 1982 were driven by a desire to educate climbers and backcountry enthusiasts in safe, low-impact techniques for climbing, ski touring, hiking and mountaineering. At the same time, we focused on offering enjoyable, high-quality and exciting adventures.

Our goal remains unchanged as we enter our 25th year of adventures and courses around the world!
