'Ski The Haute Route & The Effects Of Climate Change.'
Thanks to IFMGA Mountain Guide Lou Reynolds Mountaineering for this informative & concerning, yet inspiring, article about the modern Haute Route & some of the issues around evolving conditions.

We have a discounted place available for our Lagginhorn & Dufoursptize course Tues 10 - Sat 14th Sept 2024. Still very good conditions this year and this is a great opportunity to join a small team climbing these moderately technical but highly physical 4000m peaks.

A fine alpine adventure in its own right plus great training for a future ascent of the Matterhorn or Eiger for example.

Very good fitness required and some existing mountaineering experience.

We have just 1 course place still available for this summer alpine mountaineering season and this is an inspiring opportunity to train, acclimatise and climb a 4000m peak in the Saas Valley before transferring to Zermatt and attempt to climb the impressive Dufoursptize, at 4634m the 2nd highest peak in the Alps.

There are 4 nights in Swiss mountain huts with great base camps at the lovely Weissmies Hut and remarkable Monte Rosa Hut.

Very good fitness is required plus some existing mountaineering experience.
