We are a mountain guiding company and tour operator with over 20 years of experience in the Alps, run entirely by IFMGA/UIAGM-certified Mountain Guides. We guide across the full range of alpine disciplines, and we are among the leading specialists in the great 4,000-metre peaks and classic ski mountaineering routes of the Western Alps. Our core objectives include Mont Blanc (4,810 m), one of our signature climbs with around 35 departures every summer on our 6-day guided course; the Matterhorn (4,478 m), with guided ascents and traverses on 4- and 6-day all-inclusive programmes; and Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso, including the Spaghetti Tour traverse of the Monte Rosa 4,000ers or the famous Chamonix–Zermatt Ski Haute Route. The safety of our guests is our north star, and we never compromise on it for the sake of reaching a summit. After more than 20 years of guiding, we are proud to have maintained a 100% incident-free record, reflecting the care, experience and professionalism we bring to every programme. For us, guiding is about much more than reaching a summit. Our goal is to share great days in the mountains with our guests, combining technical expertise and deep local knowledge with a personal approach to every group. We want our guests to leave not only with a summit in their memories, but with the feeling that they have spent an exceptional day in the mountains, an experience they will remember for years to come.
