Learn. Practise.
Move with confidence.
High mountains demand more than fitness. Sound technique, careful planning and the ability to recognise alpine hazards are essential when trails end and the terrain becomes steeper, exposed or glaciated.
These courses combine clear instruction with intensive practice. Choose Mountaineering Basic for a solid foundation on firn, rock and scree, or High Alpine for the skills required on glaciers and classic alpine tours.
