Uli
Miguel was a wonderful guide, we could not have found anyone better
Evan
The helicopter was a surprise and it was awesome, it was a great first time experience in the backcountry. Our guide, Roger, was really helpful and patient with us and we found really good snow. The hiking up was especially tiring when it was really hot but the skiing was epic.
Irina
5 Star guide with a lot of experience in the mountains, extremely professional. He made me feel safe and in the same time he challenged me. It was an amazing mountaineering trip.
Tereza
Roger is a fantastic person and a super guide. We spent one week with him on Monte Rosa where he safely guided us on glaciers and we learned a lot about high altitude mountaineering. He knows his stuff on the mountain, on glaciers and on climbing. Always positive and a great attitude. Thanks for a great experience, Roger!
