Ski Mountaineering

Ski Mountaineering (or 'Ski Touring') is a great way to experience the Alps during the spring, when skis are the ultimate mode of transport through the mountains. The Alps offer some wonderful skiing opportunities, taking you away from the busy resorts with long, exciting off piste runs and scenic tours over high passes and even to mountain summits. You don't have to be a brilliant skier either. With just a little previous off piste skiing experience, you can join one of our introductory level courses or tours.

We have been organising ski tours for well over a decade and we believe our guides have as much experience of ski touring all over the world, as anyone. Beyond the European Alps, from Japan, to Norway, New Zealand to Morocco and Mongolia to Chile, each year they also lead even more adventurous expeditions on skis.

Our Ski Mountaineering courses are led by IFMGA guides Jim Blyth and Andy Owen, both of whom live in and have skied all over the world.

"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!"
