The Mountaineering and Ski Touring course is held both in the Pyrenees (French / Spanish border near Andorre). It lasts 5 days.
It is a little taster of everything.
We "climb" rather than hike some impressive mountains in the Pyrenees and also undertake some easier ski tours. It is a good idea if you have skied before. For those who are looking for more advanced ski tours, contact us and we can put you together on a special course.
The area is a perfect location over the winter for all activities and it is relatively safe having no permanent glaciers or crevasses.
Led by high altitude mountaineer, Sean James this course is 5 days long with the possibility of a night spent out in the mountains.
A week long course with 5 days practical teaching whilst climbing the high mountains of the Pyrenees such as Pedraforca, Canigou, Carlit, Aneto, Pedrocomosa and many more.
Sean imparts his experiences of guiding over 15 – 8000m expeditions, including 4 times on Everest.
The course runs from December to April depending on the length of the season and conditions.
Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to climb your first 8000m or even 5000m trekking peak and want tips on training and high altitude techniques this course will provide you with ideal preparation for your own future expeditions and adventures.
