Alpine Rock

Keirnan on the steep, sunny rock of the Grand Muveran's South Ridge, Swiss Alps

For those who enjoy the technicality of rock climbing without all the snow plodding and trappings of alpinism, this is the course for you. It aims to make the most of the fantastic mountain and valley rock in either the Chamonix Valley (Chamonix Rock) or a variety of quality venues throughout the Swiss Alps (Swiss Rock). Gneiss or Granite? The choice is yours...

This course is tailor made to individuals or small groups and so can provide the right level of challenge, progression and training whatever your level and aspirations. There is simply so much to choose from. Some of the Swiss mountain venues are unusually well endowed with quality multi-pitch mountain rock at an easy level, perfect for the beginner or those wanting to develop their confidence and rock skills.

A mixture of valley and mountain 'sport' routes can be combined with some of the more traditional and classic ridges and summits.
