Friendly, professional ski trips throughout the alps and beyond

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 and ski trips throughout Europe and further afield

Off piste skiing and ski touring is our passion, both at work and for pleasure

Our Alpine base is Chamonix Mont Blanc, one of the most famous and popular off piste skiing destinations in the world. There are off piste ski descents for every ability including the spectacular Vallee Blanche where we organise guided descents regularly

Chamonix is also close to many other Alpine centres, and we travel to many nearby resorts to ski tour or find good off piste ski descents including Courmayeur, Megeve and Verbier

Throughout the winter and spring season we take our guests ski touring and ski mountaineering here in Chamonix such as on the classic skiers Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt as well as many other tours through out the western alps

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

I did two weekend trad courses with Matt on Dartmoor. First time I wasn't fortunate enough to equip myself and use the skills I learnt but still had a fantastic weekend an enjoyed every aspect. Super friendly, helpful and calm instruction!

I've used Vertical Frontiers a number of times now for skiing and alpine climbing. Ben and all the guides he works with work hard to deliver the best experiences; balancing achieving goals, some adventure whilst respecting the weather and conditions. Epic Mont Blanc summit from the Italian side in July, superb. Bens bants are half decent too.

Just wanted to thank both you and Neil for an absolutely brilliant week and your patience with such amateurs. I have learned so much and it has been great to improve some skills.
Niall C - Mont Blanc 2016
While safety is obviously Ben’s primary objective for his clients, each trip with him has enabled me to develop my skills thanks to his advice and they have been a huge amount of fun. I’ve achieved some of my life goals and created many memories thanks to Vertical Frontiers and I recommend them at any opportunity.

We had a great experience skiing with Ben and his team for a full 5 day off piste course. Really good at making the most of the opportunities even quite some time after the last snow fall. Got really lucky with a big dump towards the end of the week and had a glorious two days skiing powder at the Grand Montets and Le Tour. A mix of short, in resort descendt and more adventurous itineries.
Mikkel Vejlgaard - Chamonix Freeride Trip 2019
An amazing three day trip with Ben, from rock climbing, scrambling ridges and summiting a 4000m peak. I'm only a beginner but Ben filled me with bags of confidence to push myself to attempts stuff I wouldn't of done normally. Can't reckoned Ben highly enough. One day he will get me to the top of the Matterhorn, if not certainly more 4000m peaks, maybe Nadelhorn next year. Great guide, great company, great fun.

 Not every day in the mountains needs to involve a 4,000m summit or a huge objective — classic rock & alpine ridges around Chamonix.

 Guiding the Grand Combin traverse, taking in all three summits in superb high-alpine conditions.
