Mont Blanc 4808m is the highest summit in the western European Alps. The summit overlooks hundreds of spectacular alpine peaks with a view into France, Italy and Switzerland. The summit is a worthy goal and is achievable for most fit people in a one week course with a high mountain guide. We have a number of courses running each summer and ascents on skis in the spring.
The
High Level Route
is one of the most famous high level treks in the whole of the alps. You will see browsing through this photo collection the stunning scenery encountered along the way.
We alps run this trip in winter on skis.
This collection was taken in the first week in May 2005. The aim was to climb Mt.Blanc but due to bad weather high up we changed plans and ascents of Aig du Toule, Mt.Blanc du Tacul, Petite aig Verte, Mont Dolent and an ascent of the Glacier du Milieu.
The West Oberland ski tour is a real gem and has turned out to be many peoples favourite. It starts from the
Col
du Pillon / Diablerets ski area (just to the east of Lac Leman) and over 5 days zig zags its way over the chain of peaks to Kandersteg. On this tour we climbed the following peaks: Les Diablerets, Arpelistock, Wildhorn, Schnidehorn, Weisshorn, Wildstrubel and on the final day the Roter Tot before we ski to Kandersteg. A 5 star ski tour!
The first photos are of the Petite Aig Verte. We then travelled over to Grindelwald, Switzerland. We took the train up to Jungfraujoch and then spent the night in the Monchjoch hut 3630m. The next day was perfect for our ascent of the Eiger South ridge (this was our third trip to the region with this climb as our main objective). The south ridge is a long serious fairly difficult climb which needs to be in good condition. We spent 13 hours hut to hut followed by big beers too much food and bed.
We had 8 days to have some fun, during the time we climbed we had a training day on the Mer de Glace then the Domes du Miage, the Clocher - Clocheton, Aiguillettes d'Argentiere in the Aig Rouge above Chamonix and climbing at the Dentelles de Montmirail
Ecole de Glace, Rock climbing in the valley, Walk to the Albert Premiere hut, Aig du Tour North summit, North face on the Tete Blanche, Walk accross the valley Blanche to the Cosmiques hut, Mont Blanc attempt we turned back due to high winds on Mont Maudit but made an ascent of Mont Blanc du Tacul. Followed by beer in the valley.
The images are of a 6 day Bernese Oberland tour starting from Grindelwald - Switzerland. We stayed in mountain huts throughout the tour and had mixed weather along the route. We managed to climb 4 peaks along the way before the descent to Munster.
The shots are of a off piste week in February 2004. We used lifts to access all of the runs except where we are obviously walking. The areas we visited were Grands Montets, Aig du Midi - Vallee Blanche, Le Tour, St Gervais and Fegere, all of these area can give fantastic off piste skiing.
