Climbing Adventures
We offer all types of climbing trips in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa. We primarily climb the amazing granite located in Chamonix, France. There are, of course, endless classic mountaineering routes nearby on peaks such as Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and the Eiger.
 Mont BlancJune - September The Highest peak in the Alps at 15,780ft (4810m). Climbing Mont Blanc is the goal of many climbers and is still a massive challenge requiring solid mountaineering skills, good fitness, stamina and acclimatization. The climb of Mont Blanc includes a big summit day where you will travel over everything from scrambling over steep rocky terrain to cramponing across exposed snow ridges at high altitude. We offer 6 to 8 day Mont Blanc programs. |  Alps TrilogyJune - September This is any experienced climbers dream… Attempt to climb Mont Blanc, Matterhorn and Eiger over a two week period. |  Intro to Alpine Rock ClimbingJune - September Chamonix is known for it's technical climbing, but it also has plenty of terrain that is more fitting for beginners.

 Chamonix GraniteJune - September Chamonix has some of the best granite climbing anywhere in the world. Climbers who have climbed in Yosemite, Patagonia and other granite climbing meccas come to Chamonix and are blown away. The quality of the rock together with the easy access from lifts, the convenience of huts, and a stunning glacial backdrop make the granite of Chamonix something not to be missed. |  Alpine ClimbingJune - September Chamonix is the perfect place to get your feet wet in the world of mountaineering and alpine climbing. There are numerous great snow, ice and rock routes that you can do within a day of town. |  MatterhornJune - September The most iconic mountain in the Alps. Nearly everyone has seen an image of the Matterhorn at some point in time. The stunning nature of this mountain draws climbers from all over the world. An ascent of the Matterhorn is very difficult. It requires solid and efficient scrambling skills on terrain up to 5.6, secure cramponing skills and excellent fitness. We normally recommend a checkout climb before attempting the Matterhorn due to the serious nature of this classic route. |
 EigerJune - September There are few other mountains as famous as the Eiger. Rich in history from all the epics on its north face, it remains a formidable summit. An ascent of the Mittellegi Ridge and a descent of the South ridge make for an incredible traverse of this iconic mountain. Solid mountaineering skills and fitness are required. |  Best of the AlpsMay - September This is the trip that most of our clients come back for year after year. We start in Chamonix, which is in the center of the Alps and then we go and climb the peaks and routes in the best conditions with the best weather. The itinerary varies every year, but always results in lots of great climbs. |  Via FerrataVia Ferratas are routes that are equipped with metal ladder rungs and wooden or cable bridges that run through canyons or up cliffs in the Alps. They provide a great opportunity for people to access incredible terrain with little experience or risk. It is much easier than rock climbing, but still gives you the exposure of the high cliffs. The canyon via ferrets are also super fun with long zip-lines, tyrolean traverses, and rope swings. |
