How does it work
Share your project
Contact us by phone, email or via the form by precisely describing your project: desired activity (mountaineering, skiing, climbing), specific objective (summit, itinerary), number of participants, technical and physical level of the group, technical and physical level of the group, dates envisaged and any other important details. The more specific you are in your request, the more our response will be adapted to your needs.
Program Development
After studying your request, we will send you a detailed proposal within 48 hours including: daily program, technical level required, necessary equipment, personalized rates and available options (accommodation, transfers). This proposal takes into account your goals while considering seasonality, current mountain conditions and technical feasibility for your level.
Adjustment and validation
It is time to discuss and adjust the proposal if necessary. We can modify certain aspects (duration, difficulty, dates) to create the program that is perfectly adapted to your expectations. Once the program is finalized, you will receive a detailed quote to be validated. The reservation is confirmed upon receipt of your 30% deposit and the completed registration form.
Preparing for departure
In the weeks preceding your stay, we will provide you with a detailed list of equipment, physical preparation tips if necessary and all logistical information (meeting point, hours, accommodations). A few days before departure, your guide contacts you personally to check the weather and confirm the latest details. Now you are ready for your adventure!
Important : Once the course has started, the Guide reserves the right to modify it at any time according to the level of the participants and the weather conditions.
Fields of activity
Explore all the areas of activity in which we can assist you. Do not hesitate to explore each sheet to check that your internship is not already there.

Rates vary according to the duration, the number of participants, the technique and the season. Here are indicative ranges to give you an initial idea.
