Ski Mountaineering

Ski Mountaineering is a great way to experience the mountains. The Alps offer some wonderful skiing opportunities, taking you away from the busy pistes with long, exciting off-piste runs and scenic tours over high passes and even to mountain summits. For our 12th season of Ski Mountaineering we continue to offer a varied choice of venues, covering the Alps from Chamonix to Val Bedretto, and as far afield as South America and Japan.

To join our introductory level courses, you need to have previous off-piste experience and be able to ski linked, short radius turns confidently. We recommend that you join one of Off Piste Courses to gain these skills.

Our Ski Mountaineering courses are led by IFMGA guides Jim Blyth and Andy Owen, both of whom have skied all over the Alps and much further afield.

"Thanks again for a fantastic trip. I know it's beyond your capability to organise the weather which couldn't have been better, but everything else was down to you - your ideas, your organisation, your leadership - and it all worked wonderfully. I'm really struggling to say which was better, Greenland or Patagonia, and can only conclude they were equal - different but equal. Thanks so much, and I'm already thinking about 2010!"
