We believe in the mountaineering and climbing school mentality, delivering both skills and experiences to our clients, help them learn, develop and grow as independent mountaineers and achieving their own person goals and objectives whilst having an adventurous and fun experience.
Terry was a wonderful guide and made everything fun, laid-back and an overall good experience. I would be happy to ski or climb with him again. All the logistics in Leysin and in Italy went smoothly. A really nice time.
