Each year we try to offer a few more trips to some of the
globe's most special places. Some of these are personal favorite
trips, while some are trips that you have asked us to organize.
So allow yourself to view, daydream and perhaps plan to join
us on one of these trips of a lifetime.

Alps Mountaineering
 Join
IFMGA certified guide Larry Goldie for a trip of a lifetime
- mountaineering in the European Alps. There are too many
options to list here, though some of the main epicenters for
alpine climbing include Chamonix, France, as well as Zermatt,
or Wengen,Switzerland. Light packs and minimal approaches
allow you to save energy for the climb, (and the next day's
adventure!). Call Larry to discuss options depending on just
what type of climbing you are interested in and what language
you want to order wine in at the end of the day...

Ortler Tour
Some of our guests that have skied the Haute route have asked
us to put together another tour that was comparable in difficulty,
but perhaps a little less well known. After conferring with
some other guide friends, we were convinced that the Ortler
tour was just that. This Tour takes place in Stelvio National
park in the South Tirol region of Northern Italy, close to
the borders of Switzerland and Austria. The park itself is
one of the largest in all of Europe. It lays between the Bernina
group of St Moritz to the West and the Dolomites to the East.
The terrain is slightly lower than that of the Western Alps,
but still heavily glaciated and very alpine. Much of the tour
takes places between 10,000-13,000'. This tour is actually
a loop circuit as opposed to a point to point, making travel
and logistics much easier. The huts are well known for great
food, incredible coffee and many even have hot showers!
Due to popular demand - 2 Trips this year!
- April 4 -11th, 2009 - Full!
- April, 2009 -Dates TBA

Haute Route
 This
is possibly the most famous ski traverse in the world. Beginning
in the birthplace of alpinism, Chamonix, France, this tour
will climb over high mountain passes, down long glacial descents
and through some of the most spectacular terrain imaginable
to arrive in Zermatt, Switzerland, 9 days later. Each night
will be spent in the comfort of fully stocked and catered
mountain huts, allowing us to travel largely unencumbered,
thus fully enjoying the skiing along the way.
April 2009 dates TBA
