The climb is a perfect introduction to high alpine mountaineering, combining glacier travel, mixed terrain, and outstanding […]

Q&A

HOW DIFFICULT IS THE CLASSIC SKI-TOUR HAUTE ROUTE BETWEEN CHAMONIX AND ZERMATT?

The traverse between Chamonix and Zermatt is a long ski-tour at high altitude so very good fitness is required for this ski-tour. You also need to be able to ski in different snow conditions and steep slopes. Previous experience of ski-touring is required. We ski in small groups. The reason of keeping the group small is to increase security on steeper ground.

WHICH PERIOD OF THE YEAR IS THE BEST TO GO ICE CLIMBING?

We need cold temperatures for a while to get frozen ice. From beginning of December it can be possible to go ice-climbing. The season for waterfall ice-climbing is short. In end of January it can be over. The alpine ice is often in good shape from Oktober to beginning of June.
