As well, our company is owned, managed and operated by professional Mountain Guides certified through the IFMGA and ACMG - we are truly a Guides company.

A quality Mountain Experience
Our first climbing and avalanche safety programs in 1982 were driven by a desire to educate climbers and backcountry enthusiasts in safe, low-impact techniques for climbing, ski touring, hiking and mountaineering. At the same time, we focused on offering enjoyable, high-quality and exciting adventures.

Our goal remains unchanged as we enter our 26th year of adventures and courses around the world!
