The term “mountaineering” might sound intimidating, but rest assured: this weekend is the perfect opportunity to get the hang of mountaineering techniques while having fun. What do we mean by “mountaineering techniques”? We’re talking about navigating steep and challenging terrain, using ice axes, and rappelling with a rope—all topped off with an ice climbing session to learn a few basic moves. This two-day workshop is ideal for hikers, skiers, and off-piste snowboarders who eventually hope to explore higher peaks.
No experience is necessary at all! This weekend is open to all skill levels. In addition to days spent outdoors learning, we offer two nights’ lodging in a cozy cabin, plus meals prepared by our team. It’s an all-inclusive outdoor adventure experience! This two-day workshop is ideal for off-piste hikers, skiers, and snowboarders who eventually hope to explore higher peaks.
