Ice Climbing Adventures

Whether it is mountain ice or frozen waterfalls, ice climbing around Chamonix is superb. The 'thunk,thunk' of your axes bedding into the ice, and the beauty of the mountains in winter is hard to beat...

Local venues include the Argentiere basin, Chatelard, Trient and of course the Mont Blanc massif.

The world class venues of Kandersteg (Switzerland) and Cogne (Italy) are also within easy reach.

Whether it is your first time or you want to climb a 300m grade 6, there is plenty here for you...

We are available for custom guiding throughout the winter.

Late December until the end of February is best for frozen waterfalls, but the mountain ice season continues through spring.

The best ratio is 1:1 or 1:2, but higher ratios can work for an introductory day.
