Ascents Program | Winter Mountaineering
The Ascents Program is Alpine Guides tailored guided winter mountaineering package for the individual. Use this framework to arrange your personalised ski mountaineering, alpine touring, or winter climbing trip.
For Experienced Winter Mountaineers
The Ascents Program suits moderately experienced (or better) winter mountaineers. The 1:1 ratio allows for attempts on more serious objectives than is possible with groups.
Tailored - to suit your experience
The Ascents Program is your trip. You can select specific objectives. Alternatively, let your guide put their local knowledge to use, and find the best touring and climbing conditions at the time.
Experience required:
- High level of aerobic fitness
- Previous alpine mountaineering experience on moderate/technical terrain preferred
