Food and Special Diets

Fueling your body is important in this demanding environment. Alpine Guides provide high-quality fresh food for every trip we run.

Your guide will order food in advance of your trip, and will plan tasty, enjoyable meals.

Please make a note of what you like (or don't like) to eat on your booking form. Most dietary regimes can be catered for. If you have a specialised diet please be detailed.

We provide snacks and energy bars. Dehydrated meals are used infrequently - usually only in bivouac situations.

Vegetarian Diets

Please be specific about what you can and cannot eat, as there are many variations of "vegetarianism".
