SUMMER MOUNTAINEERING
Summer mountaineering covers such a broad horizon of activities that we have sighted only well known routes, such as the Gervasutti Pillar or the North face of Piz Badile, the Kuffner Ridge or the Frendo Spur, as well as all the classic summits in the Mt. Blanc and Oisans mountain ranges, and those such as the Matterhorn or Gran Paradiso located in Switzerland and Italy.


OTHER
The activity of mountain guiding extends itself to other areas too.  Guides are often called upon in cinema, advertising, coaching, seminars and photo shoots to name only a few.  Here is a short list of clients for whom we have provided mountain guiding services:
