A more challenging Intermediate Mountaineering Course tackling harder Swiss peaks at AD/AD+ standard.
This intermediate climbing course is designed for those with prior alpine experience or regular rock climbing and winter mountaineering (to UK Severe/VS and Scottish winter grade III). It can be combined our Alpine Progression week to make 2 weeks of technical climbing at progressively harder grades.
According to conditions we can climb a variety of routes, for example: Breithorn Traverse, Dent du Géant, Dent Blanche, Tour Ronde and Zinal Rothorn plus superb training routes on the Arolla peaks and rock climbs on some of Switzerland's finest crags.
Our Progression PLUS weeks are very popular and it's usually easy to match up climbers booking individually to make teams of 2. For information on accommodation and what's included in our Intermediate Mountaineering Courses click here.

"Guiding is excellent - flexibility to match clients and guides to optimise experience is very impressive." Alan, July 2018
"It was so thrilling to climb the Dent Blanche, and the 6 of us gelled so well, it made for an absolutely amazing few days. I don't think I have ever laughed so much on a climbing trip before!" Katya, 2015
