The snow-filled gullies, solid ice falls and frozen granite slabs of the Mont Blanc Massif are the ultimate winter playground. Develop your skills on one of our carefully designed winter mountaineering courses.

Winter Alpine climbing courses with Chamex mountain guides

Our courses range from beginner level which is suitable for those with no alpine or climbing experience whatsoever, up to advanced level for those who dream of summiting a world-famous 4000m peak.

Techniques such as belaying, rappelling and ropework will become second nature on both rock and ice, using equipment such as harnesses, axes, ice picks and crampons.

You’ll not only learn new skills and develop existing ones, but you’ll do so in some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring terrain in the world. All our instructors are fully qualified UIAGM high mountain guides and are passionate about sharing their expertise and experience with you.

Have a look at the options below to find a winter mountaineering course to suit you, or contact us directly to discuss the options.

Beginner

You have no experience in the high mountains or rock climbing. You’re comfortable walking on exposed non - technical trails (not requiring the use of the hands, or “scrambling.”) You’re looking for new challenges in steeper terrain.
