 An
Alpine journey to remember. The experience of a lifetime.
Spend six days high on the glaciers of the Monch, Jungfrau,
Fiescherhorn and Finsteraarhorn. These four thousand metre
summits can all be included in this programme
This week would suit fit people with a background of winter
mountaineering in Scotland on grade II ridges. All of the
time will be spent on high glaciers, staying at mountain huts
over night. If you are unsure of your ability for this course
please speak with Alan Kimber before making a booking. Training
in glacier travel will be given throughout the week.
Full use will be made of alpine huts, therefore reducing
the need to carry heavy rucsacs full of food and bedding.
Don't however forget your camera!!
