Description

The Mountaineering Camps are your springboard into the big mountains.

During mountaineering tours, you’ll face various challenges. Snow, ice, rock, weather, equipment, and people are all aspects that need careful consideration.

With modern training content, we refine your existing knowledge and skills. We take a close look and coach you in all disciplines. The goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills that will provide safety and independence on your upcoming private summer high mountain tours.

This course is designed for motivated hikers who want to take the step toward independence.

You will learn: how to build anchors in rock and ice, how to cross crevasses as a rope team, proper belaying on rock and snow ridges, tips and tricks for using crampons and ice axes, and much more. This is not a classroom experience – it all happens on engaging application tours.

Team

Dani Perret

“Skiing in the adventure area means a lot to me. With some imagination and the right skills, you can experience something in all conditions. Thanks to rope & skins, you can reach slopes and gullies that will make your heart beat faster.”

Dani was born and raised in the same area as Piers. The adventure in the mountains attracted him already as a child and teenager again and again to lonely and secluded terrain. He feels at home on skis, mountain-, climbing- or trailrunning shoes, in all disciplines. The focus is not so much on relative performance, but rather on lasting experiences with the highest possible level of safety.

Dani is a full-time mountain guide in winter as well as summer, stationed in Engelberg. Again and again he discovers the Engelberg valley and the surrounding areas in the Alps with new eyes and is happy to share his newly gained ideas with you.
