He was very professional and careful to warn us of dangers and keep us informed and we felt very safe in his hands. Would highly recommend him and hopefully we can do a touring day out with him next time!
I had an amazing experience skiing the Vallée Blanche with Ben, who handled our group graciously, was highly professional and willing to share his knowledge throughout the day. Thank you again!
We had an absolutely amazing time out with Ben. Knowledgeable, fun to ski with and a great teacher and educator - thanks again for a memorable day!

I also tagged on an extra day for a 1:2 adventure up to Marbrees from the Torino refugio. Not only a lot of fun, but a very professional, safe and well organized trip - 100% recommend!
New for 2027: ski touring in Western Finnmark, Norway. From 9–16 May, six days of ski touring among the mountains and fjords.
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.
Dent de Tsalion and Aiguille de la Tsa — a brilliant day on steep Arolla granite.
Summit day on the Matterhorn — classic alpine mountaineering on one of the iconic peaks of the Alps.
An early alpine start and a Gran Paradiso ascent in crisp late-summer conditions.
We are open for enquires 7 days a week all year, we check and respond to emails once a day during the high season
