Welcome to Mountainvision,
Guiding in the Alps & Scotland.
Mountainvision
For dates in the Alps during
December 2008 contact us for availability.
Our new Scotland Winter 2009 Brochure is
here!
In Scotland we have been providing
Winter mountaineering, climbing & walking courses, based in Torridon & Glencoe,
for the last 15 years.
In the Alps we have been providing all-inclusive Alpine mountaineering
courses and guiding since 1994. Our base is Saas Grund in
the Swiss Valais Alps.
Our
Alpine Courses
from early May until the end of September, are run from Saas Grund, in the Valais
Alps. Surrounding the Saas & Zermatt valleys is a huge selection of some of the
best & most famous Swiss 4000 metre peaks, including Monte Rosa, the
Matterhorn
Ober Gabelhorn, Zinal Rothorn, Weisshorn, Dom, Nadelhorn, Alphubel, Allalinhorn,
Strahlhorn, Rimpfischhorn, Weissmies, Lagginhorn & more!
For
Mont
Blanc
we use some of these marvellous 4000 metre peaks for
acclimatisation & training, before driving over to Chamonix for the ascent of
Mont Blanc. So clients have the opportunity to experience
& get to know two
contrasting Alpine areas.
The Eiger, the Bernese Oberland & the Gran Paradiso
are all within a couple of
hours drive.
Our
Courses in Scotland
during the Winter, Spring & Autumn,
are run from our base in
Kinlochewe, and from Carbost on Skye. We are a few miles south of the Torridon
mountains - with the 'big three' - Liathach, Beinn Eighe and Beinn Alligin
dominating. We have Beinn Bhan and the Applecross hills on our doorstep, with
Sgorr Ruadh and Fuar Tholl nearby. Across the way is Skye and the Cuillin hills.
In the Spring & Autumn we run Cuillin Traverse, Scrambling, and Cuillin Munro
courses from Carbost,
a village at the head of Glen Brittle.
Our past Nepal Expeditions include the Khumbu Lobuche East &
Pokalde in 2005, and Mera & Island Peak in 2006, 07 & 08
Our Corsica trekking holidays include the traverse of
the GR20 - a super Cuillin Ridge, but with lots of sun & no midges!
