During the months of October & November the weather is often settled, the mountains are empty, and we use the always-open 'Winter Rooms' in SAC huts. These are warm, have plenty of blankets & wood-burning stoves for cooking & heating, (and enough wood to last the Winter). Learning to walk with snowshoes is easy & great fun & gets you up into empty mountains & stunning Autumn & early Winter scenery. 3rd November 2005

Our philosophy in offering Alpine Guiding is very much to work with you in designing an itinerary which achieves your Alpine ambitions. We do not do 'off the shelf' courses which follow a set and well trodden path. Doing something different every week keeps the Guide interested as well! - and there is nothing so demoralising to a party than a bored and disinterested Guide!
