Winter is on its way here in Chamonix. While the snow is yet to come we are experiencing very cold temperatures which bodes well for the ice climbing and winter mountaineering this season.

We have revised and improved our Winter Mountaineering Course for 2012. The course is to be run with small guide: participant ratios, which means more climbing for everyone.

Our first course running 1^st – 6^th of January is already guaranteed to run too!

This year we are selling the week at a great price of only 1095€ per person.

Price includeds: 5 days guiding with IFMGA guide, avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, in-resort transport.
Not included: Personal equipment, mountain rescue insurance, airport transfers, accomodation and food, uplifts (approx 120€).

We are running two AIARE Level 1 courses this winter.

Both are guaranteed to run.

Dates:

17th – 19th December - 1 space left

13th – 15th January - 2 spaces left

Price: 290€

We can run two courses on these dates is there is demand!

The Level 1 course is designed to help you build a framework for making decisions in avalanche terrain.  It combines classroom and field sessions to build the tools you need to plan and execute a day skiing or snowboarding in avalanche terrain. 

AIARE qualified IFMGA mountain guide Miles Smart will be leading these courses and cost for three days including course materials and avalanche gear is 290€.

It is a brilliant course and a must do for anyone interested in skiing independantly off the beaten track.
