At High Mountain Guides we deal with our clients directly and arrange a programme that is based entirely around your current experience, future aspirations and what you would like to do in the Mountains. We generally do not run pre-arranged courses that you then have to fit in with. In the boxes below are a whole host of suggestions designed to inform and inspire you with ideas that we can arrange for you. We are always happy to discuss these and how we can tailor make them to fit your requirements. We can be flexible on the type of programme you want, the location and the dates. Just get in touch with your plans....
