TESTIMONIALS

Discover what our adventurers have to say about their unforgettable experiences with Frost Guiding!

"I climbed the Mittelegi with Graham Frost. It was perhaps the best experience of my 10 years of climbing in the Alps! The route is spectacular, albeit demanding. And Graham is an amazing guide - understands his clients’ abilities very well, and adapts his guiding methods really nicely to the client. "

"Another great experience with Frost guiding following several successful courses in the past. Sami our guide was fantastic and supportive, creating the perfect level of stretchy challenge that sat on the right side of exciting! First class food and a lovely atmosphere in the chalet with all the other climbers. I'll certainly be back for more...! "
— James, July 2026
"What a fantastic week! Our goal was Dent Blanche. That meant picking an appropriate warm up and L'Evêque fit that role perfectly. Our rest day was of course multi pitch rock climbing to focus on footwork before the goal climb. And what a climb Dent Blanche was! Can't imagine anything better from start to finish including accomodations and camaraderie. Thank you Frost Guiding for another wonderful experience! Note that my first experience with Frost was in 2014 and I'll keep coming back for more for certain."
— Thomas, July 2026
"We had an amazing experience with Frost Guiding on the Pigne d'Arolla Traverse. Our guide, Graham, was absolutely outstanding, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always made us feel safe and confident. Unfortunately, the weather meant we couldn't complete the original route as planned, but Graham quickly adapted and found an excellent alternative. His flexibility, experience, and positive attitude turned what could have been a disappointment into a fantastic adventure. The entire trip was very well organized, and the focus on safety without compromising the experience was something we really appreciated. We highly recommend Frost Guiding to anyone looking for a world-class mountain guiding experience. Thank you, Graham, and the whole Frost team. we'll definitely be back!"
— Alexander, July 2026
"This dream would not have been possible without the support of Frost Guiding, and in particular Dave Kenyon, who has been the constant thread through my Alpine experiences. His skill, judgement, and passion for climbing have been inspiring, a true professional and a rockstar climber. Having used Frost Guiding on six previously occasions for my Alpine season (combination of 1:2 and 1:1 guiding) they are my go-to choice. Their balance of professionalism but personalisation really shines through. I would highly recommend them to any Alpine climber, beginner, intermediate or experienced. "
— Andrew, July 2026
"Excellent 3 days with Frost Guiding. Everything was top notch from the pre trip organisation and comms, the valley accomodation and food, and the guiding from Casper. Looking forward to the next trip!"
— Jeremy, July 2026
"We had the most amazing experience summiting Mont Blanc with Graham Frost this year. (This is our third year with Frost Guiding). Last year we planned to climb Mt Blanc, but we accepted Graham's advice that weather conditions were not suitable on the allocated days and climbed Weissmies and Alphubel as respectable alternatives. This year conditions were perfect. Graham's calm quiet confident professional guiding skills allowed my wife and I to fulfil a lifetime ambition...just awesome!! Our prior acclimatisation time with Graham on Aiguille du Tour was crucial to our success on Mt Blanc. We also appreciate Janine's skills in getting bookings for Tete Rousse and Gouter Huts, and her cooking skills in their chalet. Simply the most wonderful week Looking forward to next years challenge! "
— PAUL, June 2026
"Lovely sociable group of clients. Chilled vibe, lots of belly laughs in the evening. Bit of craic. Accom. perfect. Tea and cake on return from days adventures was a nice touch. Food for making lunch, snacks, variety of breakfast options reflected well on a guiding company that was clearly well experienced, client oriented and thoughtful. Everything from initial contact to getting the bus from Evolene was just... easy. Seamless. A well oiled machine. Re. the guiding service, it was perfect. An energising, inspiring, start to hopefully lots of further alpine adventures. "
— Tina, June 2026
"I spent a week with Graham at Frost Guiding where we made a plan that best suited my desires and capabilities within the local area. Throughout the week, I felt completely safe with Graham as a guide and I would recommend his guiding / Frost Guiding to anyone, and would personally happily go with his guiding in the future."
— David, June 2026
"Great guiding, lovely chalet accommodation, nothing really comes close when you want an inclusive package with guiding, accommodation, breakfasts, evening meals etc. Can't recommend highly enough. "
— Julian, June 2026
"Our group again had a fantastic week in and around Arolla with Graham Frost. We have come to love the area for its spectacular and unspoilt scenery and Graham has an amazing ability to find the best snow and untracked routes. He is also great fun to be with and endlessly patient with our often clumsy skiing. Thanks again Graham for a wonderful week."
— Rick and Gill, March 2026
"This was an excellent week. There had been no snow for a week and the avalanche risk had dropped from 5 to 2. Although there was much skied out snow Graham took us to different places every day and on each occasion found areas that had not been skied and were a mixture of soft and spring snow. I had every confidence in his risk management and he was a mixture of patience and good humour! We had very pleasant evenings in a very comfortable hotel which was run by a friendly family. Would definitely recommend this trip!"
— Peter, March 2026
"Graham gave us a brilliant week in Arolla, striking exactly the right balance between challenge and enjoyment. He managed to stretch a varied group of ski tourers with adventurous terrain, while still finding fresh turns long after the last snowfall. The week was well organised, with clear and timely communication beforehand, a comfortable hotel base, and plenty of laughter along the way."
— Ian, February 2026
"The hospitality and guiding were superb, making the best of the weather and snowfall and the elephantine alarm call was perfectly timed for a productive day, an excellent week, thank you all."
— Neil, February 2026
"Thanks for an awesome week. Everything is so well organised. Even from my first inquiry everything went smoothly. I received a call half an hour after my email from Janine. We discussed plans and it all sounded good. All communication was fast, efficient and smooth. We arrived at Evolene and were very happy with the accommodation. When we weren't climbing we didn't have to worry about accommodation or food. Breakfast and dinner (great cooking from Janine, especially her lasagne!) are catered for and it's possible to take sandwiches, fruit, chocolate bars or flapjacks with you for the day. Graham has an abundance of experience and despite the bad weather at the beginning of the week he was able to give us a fantastic week. We had expressed our interest in Dent Blanche and he organised everything around that. He has great knowledge about the local area and put together a fun 3 day trip. From hardcore mountaineering to rock climbing, he's got you covered. We are looking forward to coming back next year!"
— Claire, September 2025
"I had a great time with Frost Guiding. Dave was an inspiring guide and his knowledge of many different types of route in numerous regions meant that we achieved loads of climbing during a week when we constantly had to change plans due to the weather. The apartment in beautiful Evolene was comfortable, and it was great to come back to Louise's cooking. They provide everything you need and nothing you don't. "
— Peter, August 2025
"Fantastic week. The team are professional & friendly. Evolène is the perfect base for climbing in the Valais (or beyond) and away from the crowds. Couldn't recommend highly enough. 10/10. "
— Ned, August 2025
"Thank you Graham and Janine for an exciting, instructive and truly spectacular week of climbing. Tatu was great, pushing me a bit when I needed encouragement while making me feel safe when I was near my limit. Between climbs I really enjoyed chilling out at your chalet in Evolene. The hospitality of you and your team was really nice - I would very much like to return."
— Greg, August 2025
"Great week on the Alpine Intro course, our guide covered lots of skills from crevasse rescue to building anchors and placing gear. We got some amazing climbs in as well. I wasn't expecting to get so much good climbing in, so I was delighted with the week."
— Barry, August 2025
"I had a fantastic week with Frost Guiding! My experience was perfectly tailored to mine and my climbing pattern’s wishes and abilities. "
— Luke, August 2025
"Having not been out in the Alps for a few years I wanted to have a guided week that consolidated and built upon my previous experience of PD/ AD- alpine routes and would give me more confidence to tackle harder objectives in the AD range. Everything with Frost Guiding was great. Everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful. The chalet apartment was a great base and the food was perfect (we always made sure we were back for Louise's cake!). I had the pleasure of climbing with Tim Neill who, as well as being vastly experienced, was great company and seemed to have unwavering confidence in our ability to climb safely and efficiently. The objectives we chose for the week were excellent, Arolla is beautiful and despite being August we often found that we had the mountains to ourselves. I am now looking forward to planning the next trip and I would highly recommend Frost Guiding to anyone!"
— Tim, August 2025
"Lovely scrambling experience throughout the whole week. Dave is a fantastic guide, really patient, knowledgeable and great company. He has given me very valuable advice and ideas on how to improve my skills going forward. Evolene accommodation is nice. Very well organised with plenty of delicious food. Big thank you to the whole team and looking forward to do more adventures in the future. Zuzana "
— Zuzana, July 2025
"We had the best time climbing in the alps in the last 2 weeks. Everything came together, stable weather, good planning, a list of objectives, and the best climbing guide anyone can hope for. Tim was incredible, he made our week. We achieved all the climbing objectives we set for ourselves at the start of the program, culminating in the successful climb of the Eiger, a highlight of my climbing career. A lot of it was down to the experience, good sense and enthusiasm of Tim. He is the quintessential gentle giant. He made sure that our climbing was always conducted safely, yet he is willing to work with us to push our climbing in order to achieve our objectives. He is also a wonderful company to be with and has a gift of getting along with everyone he meets. The chalet accommodation was good too, with Louise’s good company and the wonderful food she prepares for us. All in all a really successful climbing experience."
— Hermann, July 2025
"A very enjoyable week climbing three attractive peaks with our calm and reassuring guide Sami. The chalet apartment in Evolène was most comfortable and we enjoyed the opportunities to compare notes with other clients returning from their climbs. Thank you for making it all possible."
— Richard, July 2025
"My first big mountain and I could not have asked for a better organised climb. From the go , organising the details with Janine was flawless. On arrival the accommodation was top notch, food, snacks, drinks and cakes and scones and flapjack!!! : ) Graham was the perfect guide, assisted us and helped…. and I learned so much on this trip. We knew that there were many elements that needed to come together for the trip and the gods were good to us and we summitted Mont Blanc on a beautiful sunny day, just a great feeling and views. Both of us are very grateful for all Janine and Graham did for us. Highly recommend their services. An awesome trip! "
— John and Peter, June 2025
"I really enjoyed this ski-touring trip. Graham was able to produce something for everyone, regardless of ability. "
— David, March 2025
"Gill and I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic Eagle ‘slightly slower’ week. The scenery and mountains of Arolla and Evolene are amazing and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. As ever, Graham’s guiding was excellent, always finding the best snow, keeping everyone safe and tactful tips to improve our skiing. We can honestly say that the week was one of our best skiing experiences for many years - we very much hope to come again next year."
— Gill and Richard, March 2025
"I guess Graham wasn't responsible for the perfect weather, but he was definitely responsible for first class guiding. It was a long time since the last snowfall, but we got to make fresh tracks on good snow every day and were constantly challenged by interesting and varied skiing. When it's hard to find fresh snow, there is no substitute for knowing the place really well, and Graham's experience of the area is encyclopaedic."
— Chris, March 2025
"Slightly steeper week in Arolla was a great experience. We were lucky to have sun, and completed a varied selection of day tours with scenic ascents and challenging descents, coupled with lots of tips and advice from Graham. Highly recommended!"
— Paul, March 2025
"I just wanted to say many, many thanks to Janine for all the organising and to Graham for a great week in the mountains. It was a nice touch you sorted the snow and some blue sky days after too. The mix of conditions, weather and terrain made for a really interesting and varied week off piste in some great snow in some great settings."
— Andy, January 2025
"Thank you for all your kindness and hospitality during my recent stay. It was a really good trip, in spite of the less than ideal weather, and I hope to have the chance to come again before long."
— Richard, September 2024
"Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time with Tamsin, and a really lovely experience summitting Bishorn."
— Paul and Lorraine, September 2024
"Just can’t express my gratitude Graham – you were just the perfect guide, and Janine keeping my options open with the state of the Liongrat. I break out into a grin thinking about every single day of the trip."
— Tom, August 2024
"Well, I’ve been back a month now after my fantastic trip to the Alps. I just wanted to thank you and the team at Frost Guiding for another great experience, one that was particularly special after my Matterhorn climb, my lifelong dream for the last 40 years! Please could you pass on my thanks to Tatu who was fantastically patient, always calm despite my mistakes, and encouraging. We did also have a lot of laughs along the way! The food was again exceptional and plenty of it so please thank Chet too who has honed his cake making skills to perfection."
— James, August 2024
"Many thanks for a fabulous week in August and for the temptation of another next year! "
— Kathryn & Tommy, August 2024
"I just wanted to write and express my thanks for an incredible week with Dave and fellow course members in the Alps last week on the Introduction to Alpinism course. Climbing with Dave was a real privilege: he is an incredibly inspiring and supportive teacher, a brilliant climber, and great company. It was a truly life-changing experience, and I can’t wait to return. I’m very happy to recommend the course to future potential participants."
— Daniel, July 2024
"I’ve climbed with Frost Guiding over several seasons now in the Alps and UK and never been disappointed! Their Guides, Accommodation and Food are outstanding and they always know where to pitch the grade against your ability and give you a great day out in the mountains. My highlight this year, was climbing Old of Man of Hoy and Old Man of Stoer with Graham. Standing at the top of such iconic routes was a real privilege and to do it in Graham’s company was fantastic. I can’t thank him and the Frost Guiding Team enough."
— Chris, June 2024
"Now back in London, missing the Foehn! I wanted to say thank you for organising a great week, I really enjoyed it."

"Wanted to say a massive thanks for the winter huts trip, best touring experience I've had. Really loved the winter rooms, quiet mountains and snow conditions of touring earlier in the season, plus some excellent cooking (I'm not talking about pasta and cuppa soup!)"
— James, February 2024
"Thanks for a great week skiing!"
— Corrine, February 2024
"Thank you Graham for leading us so well all week and thank you team for making it so much fun. I learnt a lot and enjoyed skiing with you all!"
— Michael, February 2024
"Thank you so much for the arrangements made by Frost Guiding. Dan was an excellent guide, after 20 years he rates as second only to Graham for his ability, attentiveness, motivation, briefing and most importantly safety. I genuinely feel for his experience level it is testimony to just how good he is and will become which I appreciate is in part due to Graham’s input. I will undoubtedly come again. Thanks again for being so consistently enjoyable to join along and share with your amazing world."
— Craig, August 2023
"Thanks for a great time in the Oberland - I had a blast!"
— Chris, August 2023
"I am thankful for your friendship and the wonderful times I shared in the mountains with you and your team of guides. It is the memories that make the days."
— Chris, August 2023
"I've used Frost Guiding for summer alpine climbing for several consecutive years. They employ fantastic guides who work really hard to make sure you get the most out of your time there and who are also good company! And the valley base in Evolene is easy to reach, very comfortable, the food is consistently great and the atmosphere is always excellent. A top experience guaranteed :)"
— Hannah, July 2023
"I greatly enjoyed your Eagles 'Slightly slower' week in 2023 and wondered if you might be running the same, or similar form in 2025. If so, we would both be very keen to join you. I left it too late for both of us in 2023 and don't want to repeat the error!"
— Richard, March 2023
"It may seem trivial to talk of the quality of the food when talking about Alpine mountaineering, but this is a good sign of how well I have been looked after at Frost Guiding. The evening meals are very high quality, while the afternoon tea and cake are very welcome when returning from the peaks. The guides I have climbed with over the last decade have been equally well chosen – a special mention to Gav – and I have felt safe (but never complacent) in their hands. Thanks to Frost Guiding I’ve been able to climb 4000ers by their more interesting routes, from the Ober Gabelhorn, Matterhorn to Weisshorn."

"A well balanced trip providing increasingly exhilarating adventures in the high alps as the week goes on, backed up with home from home living when back in the valley. Guides are always excellent, challenging you but recognizing your limits, which results in a glow of achievement for many weeks afterwards. Clearly a trip run by climbers who know what climbers want and need. "

— Jim, July 2022
"Two of us had an amazing week with Graham mountaineering and rock climbing in the Alps. We learnt so much from him. Lovely location and accommodation provided in the Evolène, Swiss Alps."
— Rob, July 2022
"I had a wonderful few weeks in the Alps. Gareth was great and we achieved a fair bit - he was very patient with me. We began with the Point Lachenal followed by Cosmiques Arete. The next day we did the Aiguille de Peigne. This was a cracking climb - in my view far harder than I remember the Matterhorn. After much discussion our week was completed by the traverse of Lyskamm. This (as you know) has been on my list for years and did not disappoint. I was ready for the cramponing but I had not anticipated the exposure. I found it best just to concentrate on my feet. All in all it was a great week!"
— Chris, July 2022
"I loved your humor, inside jokes and Graham, you are the best guide!"
— Nick, March 2022
"I just wanted to send a message and share how memorable the week of ski touring has been for me. As my first ski touring adventure, I feel like I threw myself into the deep end a little bit. I definitely found some of the days very challenging. But there wasn’t a moment when I didn’t feel support and help from one of you guys. So thank you for that. I feel like have developed so much during the 4 days as a skier, and as a person really."
— Nico, March 2022
"Thank-you for a fantastic week in the mountains. The organisation was excellent, with everything running smoothly and I always felt fully informed on what was going on. Plus great meals and company in the evenings! Dave was a brilliant guide, sharing knowledge, looking after us really well, ensuring our safety and making sure we kept a suitable pace to achieve our objectives. I am certainly hoping to come back next year."
— John, September 2021
"I would like to say a big thankyou to you and everyone at Team Frost Guiding for making my trip so enjoyable. I had a great time and have come away with a very good impression of Frost Guiding and the guides that you employ. I also want to thank you for going the extra mile to help me with covid quarantine and for providing the weights, bike etc and for helping me navigate the rules."
— Eddie, July 2021
"Great guide and instructor. We were able to adapt plans due to some challenging conditions on our initial objectives. I asked lots of questions and always received thoughtful lessons and tips."
— Bharath, September 2020
"The arrangements are spot on. Everyone has a great chance to get together and share what we have got up to. Fab mix of people."
— Keith, July 2019
"Thanks for a truly memorable week of mountaineering! Graham's guiding was spot on and the cooking was delicious."
— Dave, June 2019
"I’ve just finished another excellent week of ski touring with Frost Guiding. This time it was the Haute Route. Superb guiding by Graham and a well organised experience from the booking stage. Will definitely be skiing with Frost Guiding again."
— Jon, March 2019
"Winter room Haute Route - WICKED TRIP! Our first trip with Frost Guiding - def keen for more. Absolutely loved it. Graham is brilliant. Safe, thoughtful, kind, funny, and utterly rock solid/experienced, while pushing us (me!) well out of comfort zone. Stunning route, in beautiful sunshine, with great group. Challenging, exciting, hard work, exhilarating. Thank you so much Graham & Janine."

"Have had a fantastic time ice climbing thanks to Graham Frost of frost guiding and his lovely wife Janine, a bit mad she may be! Who on earth skis uphill!"
— RT, February 2019
"Just a quick note to say thanks so much for providing a fantastic Alpine Climbing Skills experience for three people in mid-September. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Frost Guiding from the warm hospitality, to your mountain insights to climbing Mont Blanc de Cheilon & Pigne d'Arolla from the Dix hut. Excellent tuition, it was great to learn and progress our alpine climbing skills & techniques. I can highly recommend Graham Frost as a guide for a quality mountaineering experience, looking forward to our next adventure with Graham and his team."
— Stuart, September 2018
"Guiding is excellent - flexibility to match clients and guides to optimise experience is very impressive."
— Alan, August 2018
"I saw the Matterhorn advertised for a guided climb, and I told my friends and family I'd be up there within two years... and they all laughed at me! Well it's safe to say, they're not laughing now! So yes, you guys made that happen, and I'll be eternally grateful. So that's that: Frost Guiding, bravo! And all my friends know it! "
— Richard, August 2018
"We were prepared really well for Matterhorn. Tamsin was excellent. She went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable, confident and enjoying myself. I was very grateful for her sensitive guiding style."
— Charmaine, July 2018
"Thanks, Graham, for - once again - an amaaaaazing few days climbing. It was heaps of fun, we 'covered loads of ground', and I think you squeezed pretty much everything you could out of both of us!"
— John & Avi, January 2018
"Thanks again for an absolutely fantastic week. Had a great time and achieved more than I thought was possible: I still can't believe I climbed the Eiger - it's a great feeling. Send my thanks again to Andy for his great guiding and company, to Steph for the food and to you both for running such a great setup. Look forward to climbing with you again!"
— Matt, August 2016
"To say we had a great time is an understatement, all of our objectives were achieved and exceeded. Graham and Paul were the perfect guides, giving us the confidence in everything we did, offering advice and encouragement where needed and all with a great sense of humour. We loved your valley and we are already discussing which hills we would like to do next!"
— Steven, Steve and Andrew, September 2015
"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, July 2015
"Pete and I really enjoyed our trip to Grimentz with the Eagles and we wanted to reiterate our thanks for all your inputs. We both felt that we improved and we thoroughly enjoyed being in a beautiful new set of mountains. We hope that we get to ski with you again soon - thanks for making it such a fun time."
— Avril, March 2015
"Thanks everyone for a tremendous week, it was a privilege to ski with so many enthusiastic like-minded people and to be so skillfully guided and coached by Graham, Tom and Andy …. bring on next year!"
