Alpine Summit Course (part 2)

Apply your alpine skills on a real summit objective. This two-day course focuses on safely ascending a classic 4000m alpine peak such as Gran Paradiso or Bishorn. You’ll travel across glaciers, manage ropes as a team, and make real-time decisions alongside your IFMGA guide. The first day involves approaching a mountain refuge and preparing for the summit, followed by an early summit attempt on day two. This course provides the full alpine experience and helps develop the judgment, efficiency, and confidence required for independent mountaineering.
