Climbing, Mountaineering Backpacking & Winter courses
Since 1982, Canada West Mountain School has provided a comprehensive range of year 'round Instructional Courses including Rock climbing, Mountaineering, Backpacking, Ski Touring and Avalanche Safety.

Check out our Summer Courses where you will find full details on all of our Rock Climbing, Mountaineering, Backpacking and Rescue courses. Click our Winter Course listings for all winter related Ski Touring, Avalanche Safety and Ice Climbing courses and training programs.

If you want to learn more skills while participating in a backcountry adventure as well, consider our Guided Trips. These include International destinations to Aconcagua in the Argentinian Andes; Canada's highest summit, Mt. Logan; Mt. Elbrus in the Russian Caucuses; Africa's Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya; and, Vinson Massif in the Antarctic, as well as more regional objectives such as Mt. Waddington and many other great Canadian climbs and trips!

You won't find yourself being "dragged" to the summit on any of these guided trips - we'll be there each step of the way, but every achievement will be yours to claim and learn from!

Join Us This Season and Explore Your World!
