Whatever your mountaineering goals are, we will help you to achieve them.
Our climbing guides will introduce you to some of the most beautiful multi-pitch routes in the Mont-Blanc region, both in Chamonix and further afield in neighbouring resorts. With so many incredible peaks on our doorstep, the possibilities are limitless.
For the ultimate alpine experience, you can challenge yourself on big high mountain terrain and summit the highest peaks in the Alps – Mont Blanc, Eiger, Matterhorn and Gran Paradiso are all within range and you’ll find Chamonix to be the perfect training ground for high altitude mountaineering. CHAMEX mountain guides are all very strong climbers with a wealth of experience to share with you, not only will you benefit from their expertise but you’ll also be in the safest hands possible.
We treat all of our clients as individuals and all of our trips are completely customized to suit you, allowing for whether you are an excellent mountain climber or a keen beginner.

In order to plan your trip we need to know a little bit about you – what your goals are, what you want to see and do, what previous experience you do or don’t have… don’t hesitate to contact us so that we can make some suggestions and start planning your personal program based on the information that you give us.

Additional services
Airport transfers
We can help you to organise your transport to/from Chamonix. We work with well established airport transfer companies using new and comfortable vehicles, with the capacity and know-how to handle everything from delayed and cancelled flights, to unexpected traffic jams with professionalism and efficiency.
To book your transfer, we will need the following:
- Full name
- Mobile phone number
- Email address
- Your destination address
- Flight details (date, time and flight number)
SHARED TRANSFERS:
This is the most economic and ecologically friendly way of travel. The driver will meet and greet you at the airport, gather you and the rest of the passenger group together and then head off to your chosen destination. The door-to-door service means that you will be dropped off and picked up right at your hotel /chalet / apartment. From 40€ per person for one way and 80€ per person for a return trip.
PRIVATE TRANSFERS:
Private Transfers are the quickest way to get to and from the airport. Your driver will meet and greet you at the airport and guide you to your vehicle. There is no waiting for other passengers. Private transfers are available for one to eight person bookings and travelling together and you are guaranteed sole occupancy of the vehicle for your transfer. And, of course, it’s a door to door service, so you won’t be lugging any bags very far.

Mountain rescue insurance
We don’t include mountain rescue insurance in any of our courses but we strongly recommend that you have it. Mountain rescue may be very expensive, particularly if helicopters are involved. Check with your travel insurance provider if you are covered for the specific activity you are going to do with us.
However, we can organise the mountain rescue insurance for you. Details of the insurance cover are different for EU and non-EU residents; please contact us for more information.
Equipment hire
We highly recommend that you book any equipment with us at least 2 weeks in advance as the hire shops can have limited availability in the busy season.
You can collect your equipment the evening before the start of the course and return it in the evening at the end of your course. We work with the following Chamonix ski hire and mountain shop:
• Concept Pro Shop that is conveniently located directly next door from our office. Open 7/7 08:00-19:00
