Summer Alpine

The European Alps are famous throughout the world as the ultimate playground for mountaineers, walkers, climbers and sightseers. With many stunning mountains and glaciers it is the perfect place to have a summer adventure.


Based in Switzerland in the Saas Fee / Saas Grund region, with access to many 4000ers and technical summits, this region is the perfect location, whether you are seeking your first trip, or want to return for something a bit more challenging. Whatever your choice, our trips are staffed by experienced and qualified IFMGA Mountain Guides and offer low client to Guide numbers.
