Hire a private mountain guide for your ski, mountaineering or rock climbing trip. If you have an idea for an adventure that isn’t featured, custom design a trip to meet your needs. This could be anything from a one day peak accent to a week long ski traverse in a remote mountain range. I am certified by the international Federation of Mountain Guides Association (IFMGA) this allows me to guide anywhere in the world from Alps of Europe to the Andes in Peru or the Himalayas.
Some examples of custom mountaineering trips include, Mt Temple, Mt Victoria or Mt Fay in the Canadian Rockies. Rock climbing peaks include alpine climbs such as Mt Louis or long multipitch routes in the Red Rocks area of Nevada. In the Alps some possibilities for custom trips are the Eiger, Mt Blanc and the Matterhorn, often the three of them together. Many times clients who design custom trips aren’t specific about their objectives. They plan on doing a week of climbing in an area such as the Western Alps, the Dolomites or Banff and climb whichever peaks are suitable for the conditions. If you are travelling to a range and are not familiar with the possibilities, I can suggest some of the best climbs. Private ski touring trips can range from one day at Rogers Pass to fully catered and guided ski traverses such as the Wapta Traverse or the Haute Route. For ski trips groups often organise a hut and ask for a guide for the week. Hiring a private guide allows you the flexibility to design your own trip to suit your needs and schedule. It also allows for more individual attention and a more intensive learning experience. It also allows you to change plans easily if weather or conditions dictate. Price: $450 Canadian per day for one person. $50 per day extra for each additional person. Note this is for guiding fees only and does not include additional expenses such as hut fees, ski lifts or food. |
