Technical Alps Climbs
- The Trilogy – Our most popular private Alps climb! Climb the Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and the Eiger, among other technical objectives. The trip takes 14 – 15 days to complete and the best time to climb is from the end of June to early September.
- Mont Blanc (15,782′) – The highest peak in Western Europe, Mont Blanc is perhaps the most famed ascent in the Alps. It is considered the birthplace of climbing. A private climb takes a minimum of 6 days due to acclimatization.
- The Matterhorn (14,692′) – As the most recognized mountain on the European continent, the roughly chiseled rock pyramid of the Matterhorn serves as a defining geographical landmark and has captured the imagination of climbers throughout the world. The trip takes a minimum of 7 days to complete.
- The Eiger (13,025′)– One of the most iconic mountains in the world, the Eiger towers above small villages in Switzerland. We guide the Mittellegi Route which is characterized by massive exposure and engaging climbing throughout the entire ascent. The trip takes a minimum of 7 days to complete.
- Gran Paradiso (13,323′)– The highest mountain entirely within Italy, the Gran Paradiso is the highest peak in the Graian Alps and situated in the stunning Paradiso National Park. A private climb takes about 3 days.
- Monta Rosa (15,203′) – The highest mountain in Switzerland and the second highest peak in Western Europe, Monta Rosa offers a similar challenge to climbing Mont Blanc without the crowds. The striking Monta Rosa Hut, at the base of the massif, is worth the trip alone. A private climb takes about 5 days.
- Spaghetti Traverse – A truly spectacular alpine adventure, the Spaghetti Traverse is a high alpine loop encompassing eight 4000m peaks. Expect epic views, iconic peaks, and beautiful mountain huts. A once in a lifetime trip! 5 – 6 days.
- Customized Rock Climbing Trips – From the stunning limestone big walls of the Dolemites to the famed granite slabs and cracks of the Mont Blanc Massif, the possibilities for rock climbing in the Alps are endless.

- Mountaineering School & Expedition Prep – For those who have their sights set on climbing in high peaks in the Greater Ranges but live far from our Washington mountaineering schools, consider a private mountaineering course in the Alps. We offer prep courses for Denali, Vinson, and other high altitude peaks.
I think this is a very solid course when you have some previous climbing/mountaineering experience or have been in the mountains and you want to become more proficient. Is an introduction as a “mini-expedition” to get people ready to spend some extended periods in the mountains.
