Friendly, professional courses throughout the UK and Europe…
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.
After plenty of avalanche chat and multiple burial scenarios this morning... we went skiing.
A varied couple of days teaching avalanche awareness to ski tourers / split boarders around #chamonix.
And always good to finish the course with some untracked powder ❄️

Up (very) early for a ski tour in the fresh snow this morning.
Bucket loads of snow and superb skiing before any lifts opened. 50cm due at 2000m I think.
Skiing by head torch in a snow storm is a mini adventure in itself.

Another nice day ski touring around Combloux - acres of untracked snow on the summer meadows.
We need a bit more snow to pin the scrub down a bit, but it looks like that’s coming tomorrow 🤞❄️❄️

Great ski touring conditions in Chamonix and neighbouring areas at the moment.
Powder on a (very) firm base. And more due in the next few days as well.
I’ve been keeping track of my meters climbed this season, and yesterday ticked over the 40,000m mark. Looking forward to getting out guiding again today.
