Guided climbing tours in the Alps

I spend every summer 3 months in the Alps guiding my friends and clients in these beautiful mountains! That’s why I’d like to invite you to come as well.

I particularly enjoy climbing here because:

• We can experience different cultures (French, Italian, Swiss, Austrian…) sometimes even in a single trip;
• It’s a great way to eliminate arduous approaches with heavy packs thanks to an easy access to the walls;
• The mountain huts are very often welcoming and confortable, especially in Italy 😉
• Views on the different ranges (Mont Blanc Massif, Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Saas Fee…) offer breathtaking panorama;
• It contains full of epic stories about famous mountaineers who have climbed these mythical peaks;
• There are options for all levels, from beginners to experts.

We can leave together for one or several days. If going for several days, let’s enjoy together a good time in one of these charming mountain huts that will leave you with unforgettable memories: having good discussions together with a nice beer and a delicious meal after a long day in the mountains…in an unique set up!

Based on your level and wishes, I will select for you several routes that we will discuss and validate together before leaving.

If it’s your first time, I will teach you the basics and give you the necessary skills to let you fully enjoy this awesome outdoor activity. If you are more experienced, we will define together a nice objective to reach.

Here are some examples of climbing ascents classified by difficulty level:

• F= Facile = Easy = Aiguille du Toule, Bishorn, North West Face, Aiguille du Tour;
• PD= Peu difficile = A little difficult = Gran Paradiso, Mont Blanc (Goûter Route), Mönch (South-East Ridge), Jungfrau (via Rottalsattel);
• AD= Assez difficile = Fairly difficult = Eiger (South Ridge), La Dent du Géant, l’Aiguille Verte, (Whymper Couloir);
• D= Difficile = Difficult = Tour Ronde (North Face), Eiger (Mittellegi Ridge), Aiguille du Chardonnet (North Buttress);
• TD = Très difficile = Very difficult = Les Drus (Bonatti Pillar), Matterhorn (North Face), Les Droites (NE Spur);
• ED= Extrêmement difficile = Extremely difficult = Les Droites (North Face), Eiger (North Face), Grandes Jorasses (Walker Spur).

Generally the season for climbing in the Alps runs from about the beginning of June, through about end-September.

I’m usually based in Chamonix but the different ranges are very close so all the options are possible and accessible in maximum a few hours. This gives us the flexibility to go where the conditions are the best.

Please get in touch with me if you wish to come here and be accompanied by a mountain guide. I will be very happy to join you and let you spend a great time in one of the most famous climbing spots in the world.
