Escape to the Alps!

After a winter that saw once in a generation snowfalls, our Alpine summer season begins! Unsurprisingly there is great snow cover on the glaciers, and consequently very little rockfall. It's the perfect start to the summer. Lower down the mountains, the trails are mainly snow free, which is ideal for the trekkers and trail runners. Latest availability; link.

Mont Blanc £1499

Climb to the roof of the Alps with us this summer. The majority of our ascents are via the Gouter route, but we also offer the Gonella & Traverse routes. Half our dates are now full, so if you plan this epic climb, move quickly to grab your spaces. Price includes Chamonix B&B. Link

Alpine Intro week £899

Without a doubt this is our favourite Alpine trip. It appeals to those who want to learn, and to climb their first 4000m peak, typically Gran Paradiso in Val d'Aosta. The week is packed with training you key skills, and trying different styles of climbing, based in Chamonix Mont Blanc. Link

Chamonix trail running

Our summer trail running trips are very busy this year. We only have a few final spaces left. Chamonix trail week (link) 29 Jul - 4 Aug 2018; 2 spaces. Chamonix skyrunning week (link) 12 - 18 Aug 2018; 1 space. Both weeks led by award-winning guidebook author Kingsley (link).

Getting in the buff

Maximus the office dog is modelling our new neck warmer. Everyone attending a guided trip this summer in the Alps will receive one as a FREE gift in resort. Super versatile, they can be used as a headband, neck gaiter, balaclava or hat. A great lightweight piece of kit. RRP £5.

Mount Elbrus 5642m

Did you think Mont Blanc was the highest summit in Europe? Think again, it's Elbrus in the Russian Caucasus. We offer ascents via the classic South or remote North routes, throughout the summer season. At £1299, it's a cheaper alternative to Mont Blanc! Link

Self-guided TMB

Last call for all those wishing to book a self-guided Tour Mont Blanc trek this summer. There's just 10 days left to book your trek, as mountain hut spaces are nearly at capacity on many weeks. Select a timescale of 10 or 7 days trekking, or even 4 days self-guided trail running. Link
