Angus
Had an awesome time! Got everything that I wanted to experience out of it. I will be seeing you next time I go to Switzerland, hopefully with other people to do another climb.
Jacob
Two excellent adventures with Tom and Alps Adventures. Via Ferrata was a Dads and Daughters adventure and was perfectly pitched to beginners. Tom takes time to build confidence and encourage communication for everyone at every level. Beginners ski touring was a short expedition in Morgins, CH to learn technique, safe travel and avalanche search and rescue. Again, Tom was patient with all abilities and always good humored
