Ice climbing multi-pitch course and tours with a mountain guide

• Venue & meeting point

  Flexibility is very important when ice climbing. If necessary, we adapt the course and tour area to the prevailing conditions. We organise this course and tour days at two locations. Either in eastern Switzerland, probably in the Avers Valley. Or in the Bernese Oberland with Valais, probably in Kandersteg. We will stay overnight in a hotel or guesthouse. This will be booked at short notice depending on the conditions. We will organise ourselves in carpools.
