Chamonix Winter Mountaineering Intro & Glacier Snow Shoe Journey
Ben & Emily, New York, December 2022We had such a lovely time mountaineering with Rob off the Skyway Monte Bianco. Rob is an amazing guide in all respects— knowledgeable, fun to be with, and a great teacher. Couldn’t recommend him enough

We both had a such a great day and appreciate the photos!

Autumn Monte Rosa Ascent
Eren & Alex, Mountaineering Training & Monte Rosa Ascent, Oct 2022

Autumn Mont Blanc Course – Oct 2022
Matt Saunders, Climb Monte Rosa & Mont Blanc coursesGiven today is now our rest day, I’d just thought I’d take a moment to say thank you. I have had a brilliant week. I think we had some tricky conditions to deal with but for me, this just added to the experience. I was of course disappointed not to summit but given the conditions, Gav absolutely made the right decision. Further to that, please pass on my thanks and forward him this email, he was exceptional. I learnt so much from him and always felt very safe.

I will certainly come back and probably arrange some private guiding to tailor the days to suit me and the conditions at that time.
Thanks again and I hope to be in touch soon to arrange my next trip with you (and Gav). I just need to broach it carefully with my wife first!
Best wishes to you both,
Matt.

Chamonix Mountain Walking July 2022
Caroline, Chamonix based guiding for mountain walkingThank you so much for taking me out walking for two days. Thursday was a wonderful introduction to Chamonix walking high up and scrambling down. I loved it and wish i had been fitter. Friday was a perfect follow and today when i left Chamonix i could clearly see the path. I hope you had a successful day! I will be in touch to arrange Mont Buet or similar next year…

Thank you again! Best wishes Caroline

Spring Ski Summits Course 2022
Darryl Sergison, Ski Mountaineering in Chamonix & Bernese OberlandYesterday was absolutely awesome and made a great final day to my first full winter season.

Kev has done a great job this last week, especially given the tricky snowpack and dodgy weather. I had an awesome time and skied some fantastic snow in incredible locations (we also managed to find some awful snow but that’s all part of spring ski touring!
Cheers, Darryl

West Highlands Mont Blanc Training Weekend
James Andrews, Fort William Mt Blanc Training CourseJust to say thanks for organising a great trip. The team really enjoyed it and Hannah did a great job of encouraging the team who felt they were able to find their limit in a well-supported and safe way.
The team is mulling over a potential trip to Mt Blanc having been pushed hard on this one and I’ll let you know where they end up.
Speak soon. Jim

Cairngorms 🏴 Matterhorn Training Weekend 26-27 Mar 2022
Chris Cura, Matterhorn Preparation & MountaineeringTwo great bespoke mountain days in the Cairngorms with the experienced and knowledgeable Jonathan Preston: the Twin Ribs onto Fiaicall Ridge with a long snow descent, and a trip up the icy Goat path and an ascent of Afterthought Arete.

Increased my confidence in crampons greatly and brought me closer to the skill and fitness I will need for the Matterhorn itself. I strongly recommend High Mountain Guides!
