Beautiful photos of the latest Winter Hiking in the High Tatras Mountains trip! Thanks for sharing, Karen 🤩

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'I have just returned from a truly amazing trip to Slovakia and the high tatras. From the beginning our guide Tom was exceptional. Very well organised, informative, humorous and passionate about hiking and his country. The Pension Lomicky (accommodation) was comfortable and lovely staff.

The hiking was also exceptional with beautiful mountains and winter conditions. Tom adapted the itinerary around to ensure we had the best experience which was great. It was so nice to share this experience my new found friends who share the similar love of mountains and hiking.

Have already booked the next trip with Skyhook and thank you also to Tom who was fab'

"An amazing and memorable experience, words will fall short. JC was extremely friendly, kind and helpful. He and his team took care of our group like family. The communication was great, the facilities were awesome, and the food and hospitality offered was terrific in these remote mountainous regions. JC, our guide is an extremely hard working and passionate individual who loves his job greatly. He gave us a lot of valuable information about the Quechua civilisation, culture, traditions, language, architecture, stories, food, the geography and history of these lands and lot more. It wasn’t just a hike, it was a journey through centuries. He kept us motivated and pumped up throughout this adventure. Thank you so much for such a great experience and memories that will forever be cherished!"

Hand-Picked Mountain Guides

✔ Small groups

✔ Awesome guides (fully qualified, regularly inspected and ethically paid)

✔ Incredible mountains

We find the best local mountain guides

We hunt down the very best local mountain guides, and review everything about them. There are a few key things we look for:

Safety – this starts with checking qualifications, risk assessments, trip itineraries and policies for rescue/medical equipment carried. Then once we’re happy, we’ll move to physical inspections which are carried out about once every year with the more popular trips. It’s a fantastic way for us to share skills and keep your local guides updated with best practice.

Quality – we’re not looking for 5-star hotel experiences – mountain huts tend to be pretty basic after all! We do want the basics however – safe and secure accomodation, good food hygiene, enjoyable itineraries and fantastic mountains!

Ethical policies – guides, porters, cooks and any other staff must all be paid in accordance with the Skyhook fair wages policy. In addition, your porters will never carry more than 15kg, which is the recommended maximum load.

Making wild mountains accessible

Trekking in places like the Himalayas can seem very intimidating. The mountains are remote, the routes are challenging, and it can be hard finding expert advice on what to bring (and what will just weigh you down).

We try to make that easier, with clear course PDFs that contain everything you need to know, and fantastic customer service whenever you have a question.

You can reach us any time on Facebook, Email, Phone or why not join us live with our Facebook Q&A sessions every Thursday evening!

2016 - Skyhook launches as an Ice Climbing school in Norway

Founded in 2016, we started out by running just two winter courses, in a remote Norwegian town called Rjukan. Over these few months we had incredible fun running our now-famous Beginners Ice Climbing courses. By the end of the season, we had become Europe’s most popular winter climbing school.

2017 - Skyhook becomes a platform for other hand-picked guides

Over 2017, Skyhook went from just over 100 guests to nearly 1000. Damien joined full-time, along with a team of instructors for the winter, and we had a fantastic time teaching ice climbing, snow holing and winter hiking.

We were having great fun, but at the same time we also wanted to help other instructors. Did you know that on average a mountain guide or instructor will spend 2-3 hours a day on admin and social media?

We had built a system to help with all of this, so over the space of 12 months we started hand-picking some fantastic guides to work with us and use our systems. We interviewed (and still do interview) hundreds of guides, and only a few made our strict safety, ethical and guest experience requirements. On average each guide has over 10 years of experience! Then with these new partners we launched a few new exciting courses, the most popular of which is of course Everest Base Camp.

Going Forwards

We are constantly working to improve our service to you, our guests, and also to the local guides who we work with. Here’s a few of the exciting new things you can expect:

Kit deals - we already have a deal with Cotswold Outdoor in the UK (log in to www.skyhookadventure.com to see your 15% discount code), but we’ve been working on even better options for you!

Environmentally friendly water - in developing countries most safe water in the mountains is brought up in plastic bottles. We’ve been working hard with a pilot scheme in Morocco to use cutting-edge purification equipment instead.

New trips - we have some really exciting destinations that we can’t wait to share with you!
