What customers think
The testimonies of our participants speak for themselves. Discover their authentic feedback on this mountain adventure that they experienced with our guides.
I had a great time climbing with Sébastien. I changed the stay due to the weather and was able to find dry rock in rainy weather. Throughout the stay, Sébastien not only offered me numerous climbs, but also helped me improve my skills.
I gained increased skills and confidence in ice climbing, as well as mountaineering skills. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. I can't wait to work with Seb again.
A talented, pleasant and direct guide with whom we are happy to share our passion for the mountains. Thanks, Sebastian!
