Vertical Frontiers is run by experienced IFMGA Mountain Guide Ben Bradford. We are a team of Chamonix Mountain Guides & Ski Guides offering friendly, professional courses throughout the UK and Europe. Rock Climbing, Alpine Mountaineering and Skiing is our passion, both at work and pleasure.
Our Alpine base is Chamonix Mont Blanc, one of the most famous and popular mountaineering destinations in the world. Chamonix is also close to many other Alpine centres, and we travel to Grindalwald for the Eiger, Zermatt for the Matterhorn and other valleys in Switzerland for our Alpine Mountaineering course.
Our UK base on Dartmoor in Devon gives us access to some of the most picturesque and spectacular rock climbing in the UK. We run courses and trips here year round.
In the winter we offer Off Piste skiing and Ski Touring trips, within the Chamonix valley and nearby resorts such as Courmayeur, Verbier, Saint Gervais and Megeve.
We try to be as flexible as possible taking our clients to the best snow and venue for them and the conditions.
Chamonix is also home to the famous off piste run, the Vallee Blanche. We run many private trips as well as open courses for individuals wanting to join a group.
On Dartmoor, Devon and Chamonix, France our instructors and guides are qualified to a high standard and have extensive experience with a wide range of groups and abilities. With over fifteen years of experience in the outdoor industry both in the UK, Europe and on world-wide expeditions.
We run many private trips as well as open courses for individuals wanting to join a group. Check the news page to keep up to date with our blog.
Final days skiing in Iran. A great couple of skis here with sunshine and a lot of powder. Some of the best #skitour days I’ve ever done.
Photos and videos to follow 👍
On the lower slopes of Damavand, the highest peak in Iran.
Some pretty wild weather occasionally, but good to be out. We ended up skinning a 1000m before picking our way down through the gullies back to the car.
The weather for tomorrow looks ace, so looking forward to a big day.

An absolutely brilliant days ski touring here in Iran. Mountains, deserts, powder and no one else around. Exactly what we came for.

A stormy days ski touring around Dizin, but some good snow. Resort shut, so we had a second skin up the lift lines.

Had a great warmup - shake down yesterday at Dizin, the main resort here. Plenty of lifts and options. And tons of snow boarders.
#Iran #ski
First day of our Iran ski touring trip - a couple of different valleys done before the weather came in. So much potential around here - loving it. #ski #guide
After months of planning and some very last minute issuing of visas... we are finally off to Iran.
Looking forward to to a weeks ski touring off the beaten track. See you in a week.
