If you consider booking a private climbing course with Alpinism
and Ski, let us know your background and past experience as well

It is advisable to keep a certain flexibility when choosing peaks
and areas to visit. The European Alps in general are a lot busier
than in New Zealand but there is a large amount of terrain to choose
from, not just the famous chocolate box peaks. If you come with
an open mind, you will be more likely rewarded with a special alpine
experience away from the crowds and the best weather available at
the time.
