High Alpine Mountain Guides
Guiding Company
Featured Listing
We offer trips, courses and guided experiences throughout the Alps in all seasons. Summer is the ideal time for mountaineering and alpine rock climbing. The days are long, the weather stable, and the climbing conditions are excellent. Spring and Fall are the best times to head south and explore the limestone crags around the Mediterranean, while the longer and warmer days of early spring are ideal for multi-day ski tours. The deep powder and rugged terrain make Winter ideal for exploring the off-piste pleasures of the Alps, whether assisted by lifts, helicopters or simply climbing skins.
