HOLIDAY OFFERS - Mountaineering Alpinism Trips
Mountaineering and Alpinism Trips
If you love mountains and have caught the walking and climbing bug, the lure of a high mountain summit like the Barre des Ecrins, La Meije or even Mont Blanc will be too much to resist.
We are putting together a selection of mountaineering and alpinism trips, courses and holidays for beginners who want their first taste of a high alpine summit through to experienced mountaineers looking for their next adventure.
Please have a look at our
Mountaineering and Alpinism page for more information about the activity.
We are based in the Southern French Alps and work very closely with the
Bureau des Guides in Gap. They are all fully qualified UIAGM high mountain guides with a friendly, professional and genuine attitude. Although we are based in the Southern Alps our guides are well traveled mountaineers and it is no problem to arrange a trip outside the region!
If you have a mountain in mind that isn't on our list or are looking for a guide or another mountaineering enthusiast to join up with, please
contact us. We are pretty good at tailor making trips and finding like minded people to team up with!
