Climb with Sam Bosshard - off the beaten track

Classic Alpine Rock was developed by guide Sam Bosshard. Climbing alpine rock is Sam’s great passion. He will take you to his favorite areas and then climb the best routes. These are nearly all in remote areas, and you will probably have the mountain to yourself.

Tailored trips for all climbing abilities
