Take to the heights and conquer the summits! Supervised by a mountain guide, discover mountaineering in an exceptional setting...
An unforgettable experience, whether you're on a roped party, in a small group or on your own!
Mountaineering is the very essence of the mountains. Climbing a summit, following an aerial ridge, progressing roped up on a glacier or pulling yourself up to the top of a rocky peak...
Every outing is an adventure, an exploration, a challenge in a grandiose universe. Our mountaineering activities are accessible to all levels, from beginners on glacial terrain to more technical routes for experienced mountaineers.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced mountaineer, our outings are adapted to your level, so you can enjoy a unique high-altitude adventure in snow, rock and ice.
Accompanied by a qualified mountain guide, you'll work your way through the wilderness at the pace of your party. Our itineraries are carefully chosen to offer a balance between pleasure, commitment and progress. We make it a point of honour to teach you the right techniques, to let you play a part in your climb, and to make each outing a real moment of sharing and mountaineering.

We offer group packages for certain classic and accessible outings, ideal for meeting other enthusiasts in a friendly atmosphere. For more challenging runs or for a 100% personalised experience, we recommend a private package, adapted to your pace, objectives and technical level.
Departure times are generally between June and September, depending on snow and weather conditions. Each time you sign up, we'll contact you to check your pre-requisites and advise you on your physical preparation and the equipment you need to take with you.

The programme includes snow and ice climbs, rocky routes, ridge climbs, climbs of iconic peaks, ice school or technical initiation... Mountaineering can be adapted to suit the mood and the season, always in a spirit of discovery and humility in the face of the mountain.

Technical equipment (boots, harness, helmet, crampons, ice axe) can be hired on site if required. All you need to bring is clothing suited to the altitude, water, a few snacks and, above all... the desire to have a great time up there.

Whether you're dreaming of discovering your first summits or adding to your list of routes in the Alps, we're here to help. Ready to tie the rope and team up?
