    Questions and answers about high altitude courses ?¿

    • Which (easy) alpine tours are recommended for beginners?

      There are numerous easy alpine tours. We are happy to show you the insider tips on our private tours.

      We find the crossing from the Sustenhorn, from the Chelenalp Hut to Tierberglihütte or the Vrenelisgärtli from the Glärnischhütte and the exceeding of the Piz Tschierva from the Boval hut to Tschierva Hut.

      You can find more beautiful compilations of easy alpine tours in here for Switzerland and here for the Eastern Alps.

      Ascent to the Geisshorn

    • Where can I do a high altitude course?

      Of course we also offer Mountaineering courses an.
      Adolescents and young adults can find Mountainscouts cool offers.

    • Is a special high altitude course necessary to climb 4000m?

      No special alpine touring course is necessary for the 4000 metres. It is sufficient to do a normal high-altitude touring course and have a decent level of fitness. It is worth feeling the altitude and familiarising yourself with the techniques of climbing. This is exactly why we have the high tour course for 4000m peaks Allalin or Bishorn on offer. Take a look and come along!

    • Do I need to have previous climbing experience for the high route course?

      Generally on alpine tours and also in the alpine touring course, the climbing sections are very easy. We therefore often refer to climbing on alpine tours as scrambling. You partly need your hands to get up, but the difficulty is not high. Therefore it is helpful to get acquainted with climbing and belaying techniques, but not necessary.

    • How can I prepare for a high altitude course?

      Hiking and jogging is the best preparation for high altitude tours. This way you get used to the uneven ground and build up your fitness. Climbing in a climbing hall is also helpful to gain first experiences.

    • How fit do I need to be for an alpine tour?

      Good physical fitness is a prerequisite. Participants should be able to hike for several hours at a time or move around in pathless terrain.

    • What equipment do I need for the high altitude course?

      For a high altitude course you need:

      • Weatherproof clothing including rain and heat protection, gloves and hats
      • Mountain boots suitable for crampons
      • Ice axe and crampons
      • Climbing harness
      • a few carabiners, slings

      A detailed packing list with packing tips have been compiled separately for you.

    • Can I bring my own equipment?

      Yes, you can bring your own equipment. However, our mountain guides will check the suitability and safety of your equipment before the start of the tour. It is better if you familiarise yourself with your own equipment right from the start and train with it.

    • Can I give away an alpine touring course?

      Yes, of course. We offer gift vouchers for our courses and tours. These are a great way to give someone an unforgettable experience in the mountains. They come in a pretty card. Buy your loved ones a voucher and start the high tours.
