I’m a British IFMGA guide based in Chamonix where I’ve been resident for the past 15 years.

IFMGA Mountain Guides · Monte Rosa
The biggest glaciated massif in the Alps, and the quiet way into high altitude. The Spaghetti Tour links hut after hut above 3,500 m, the Capanna Margherita is the highest building in Europe, and the Italian side offers some of the longest off-piste descents on the continent.
Every course below runs with a qualified guide who works in this valley. Pick one, or ask for something of your own.
Every guide on Oak is a working mountain professional.
