Basic ice climbing course with mountain guide

Flexibility is very important when ice climbing. We will therefore adapt the venue to the prevailing conditions and organise accommodation accordingly at short notice. This course takes place in two areas, either in Eastern Switzerland (Avers, Safiental, Sertig) or in the Bernese Oberland with Upper Valais (Kandersteg, Engstligenalp Saas-Fee).

The meeting point will be determined shortly before the tour and we will organise ourselves into car pools.
