Founded in 2013 by Elis and Silvia, PEAKSHUNTER Mountain Guides is a team of IFMGA-certified Mountain Professionals and outdoor activities experts, based in the town of Aosta, not far from Courmayeur-Chamonix, on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc massif.
We live and work in the beautiful Aosta Valley region, very close to French and Swiss borders near to Geneva, Milan, and Turin international airports.
Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Dufourspitze, Pyramide Vincent and Regina Margherita Hut, Gran Paradiso, Breithorn, Lyskamm, Castor and Pollux are only a few of several 4000 Alps summits you can climb with us: most of our team of Guides were born and grew up close to these mountains and they have explored the ascent routes several times during different seasons, with skis or crampons!

- We offer solid Experience, with several years organizing outdoor disciplines around mountain and wild areas, in many different countries of Italy and Europe, for individuals or groups, including 7-day customer support for booking, logistics, and personal assistance for planning and reservations.

Our guides Elis and Paulo were Stupefacente! (amazing!). Thanks again to Peaks Hunter, Elis & Paulo (who came over straight from Mont Blanc the same day!) for moving our climb day (due to weather changing), and leading our group on a fantastic experience! We will be back!

Michele was an amazing guide & was so professional in our successful summit of Mont Blanc His knowledge of the mountains was incredible & the 3 days we spent was so enjoyable. He was calm & understood my pace, I learned some technical stuff also. Summiting Mont Blsnc was everything I imagined & more & summiting on my bday made the experience 100 times more memorable Really looking forward to doing more with you guys soon, Matterhorn next I think thank you.

I had two guides, with Livio we summited Pollux as acclimatization part of 4 days trip, and Marco as a guide fir summiting of Matterhorn. Both guides are very acknowledged, experienced and real professional guides. They were predicted any dangerous situations, keep eyes on every step of client. My rate is 6+ from 5.

The guide was great, the trip was great. There's still a bit lacking on the organisers side. They have improved a lot, so they will get there in the end.
