Chamonix Experience

While the Alps are looking pretty dry right now, Cerro Castor treated us to a fresh dust of new snow!

The wind was definitely up, making our way down the arêtes a nice little focus session. We took our time working on solid crampon techniques on the descent—just a smooth, steady day out with Octavio Cesar Defazio

The fabulous traversée of the Aiguilles d’Entreves. A classic here in Chamonix, located right on the French-Italian border.

Are you up for a somewhat breathtaking pic up top? 👀

Wow

Took us a bit of time to come down from all the Arc'teryx Academy euphoria.

What a special week.

Thanks to all of you who participated in the clinics, you were gems, to the highly professional and passionate team of guides and to Arc'teryx for the trust.

Ain’t no rest for the wicked, the season is up and running but until next year, have an exquisite summer folks.

The Aiguille Verte is a mystical one for any alpinist.

A climb that lives in the imagination long before it becomes reality. One for the books, and memories that will last a lifetime ✨

You know what end of April means? 😈

End of April means we just have two months to go before the starts again!!

We’ve been co-organizing this event for many years now and it’s always one of our summer highlights !

We’re proud to organize the clinic side of the event and work with more than 130 guides.

So don’t hesitate to go and check out the different clinics we offer all through the week. They range from trad climbing, to mountaineering, to multi pitch, bouldering, trail running and many many more ✨

Maybe see you out there :) And if you’re just interested in the night side of the event, there are many great music venues to shake things off at the end of the day 🌪️

Spring skiing around the Monterosa was muy al dente 🤌

The trip is a 6 day tour which includes several 4000m peaks in the Valais, including Monte Rosa, Breithorn, Allalinhorn, Strahlhorn, and Alphubel.

A real gem guided by Bastiou 💎
