Mountain guide Marco Goldener

An absolutely fantastic course – 10/10, would definitely recommend! Not only did we learn an enormous amount, but we also made some wonderful new friends! There was great chemistry between all of us and our brilliant mountain guide. Marco was simply brilliant – both professionally and personally! :-) We couldn’t have asked for a better mountain guide. The topics were all very interesting and built on one another. Overall, the whole course was brilliantly structured and offered us the perfect mix of theory and practice. I’m already looking forward to the next time! :-)

This multi-day tour is an excellent way to get started. We learnt the most important basics and were shown how to apply them in practice – from rope and belay techniques, through to using crampons and ice axes, right up to route planning. The tour was extremely informative and provides an ideal foundation for gaining your first experiences of high-altitude mountaineering. :)

The course imparts the basic knowledge for ski mountaineering. Theoretical inputs alternate ideally with application and practice blocks. In between, you get to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. Thanks to this course, I feel ready for the next steps and definitely want to do more.

We had 4 great days! We learnt a lot. We had a challenging application tour, which Simon guided us through easily and safely. The area was very varied and we were able to familiarise ourselves with all aspects of a high-altitude tour. Thank you, it was great!

Very good coaching to get feedback and tips for your own leadership work. After the four days I was definitely more confident on the road and I'm already looking forward to the next tours so that I can apply what I've learnt.
