Introduction

From November to April, weave through meadows, reflective tarns and alpine gardens, and be rewarded with spectacular vistas over vast mountain ranges and valleys. From May to October, it can be cold and wet, with ice, snow and short daylight hours - only attempt if you have alpine, navigation and river crossing skills.

Bookings not yet open for 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 season. Check back here regularly for updates. A minimum of two weeks’ notice will be given.
