Intermediate Alpine
Created for those who have some mountaineering experience and would like to develop their Alpine mountaineering skills and be a bit more adventurous.
Typically those joining an intermediate alpine trip will be comfortable using crampons and done a bit of scrambling. This will give us the basis to develop the rope work and movement skills to move onto more challenging peaks. These could be technical peaks at any altitude or some of the classic 4000m peaks.
Experience
Experience in the use of an axe and crampons, some basic rope work and movement on rock climbing or scrambling.
Where can we go?
We can climb peaks in the Chamonix area or move further a field perhaps through the Mont Blanc Tunnel to Italy, down south to the Ecrins across to Switzerland or even as far east as the Bernina Alps on the Swiss- Italian border.
How long?
Typically a six-day trip where we will aim to climb routes of PD and upwards if the conditions and weather allow.
What about kit & equipment?
You need to provide all your own clothing (please refer to the kit lists). We can provide you with technical equipment such as crampons, ice axes, harnesses, helmets, if required and of course ropes and climbing hardware. Boots can be rented in Chamonix if required.
How much does it cost?
We offer a price based on you hiring a guide on a daily basis plus all their expenses this allows maximum flexibility.
Private Guiding is 370 Euros per day plus expenses, please drop us an e-mail for an all inclusive price
When is the best time to go?
The summer alpine season begins in June and gets underway in earnest throughout the months of July and August and then runs though to mid-September depending on conditions.
Typically a guiding week will start on Sunday and finish on Friday. We will meet you on the Saturday evening when you arrive and plan the week ahead according to your wishes and the latest weather forecast.
