Frequently ASKED QUESTIONS

What does "out of stock" mean?

It means the trip is fully booked. We book up quickly. We occasionally have cancellations so if you can only do specific dates then get in touch. We can occasionally increase capacity by adding staff. If you are a group and only have specific dates we can organise a trip on those dates for you.

How do I get to the trip start location?

Clear instructions are given for where the meet points are. Bear this in mind when booking and arranging flights. Some trips have airport pickup but most require you to use the efficient Swiss Train system or an airport transfer. We have arranged a discount for you with our friends at mountaindropoffs.com with code AlpAdCH.

Some activities have dates and others don't, why's that?

We run some activities on a regular basis that we schedule. These normally combine lots of different people from different places. Other activities we run for small numbers of people when they want them. We can run any activity at any suitable time if you have enough of a group (or big enough budget). So if you want to do something at a particular time then contact us via the site, email or social media and we'll do our best to organise it.

Am I fit enough?

That's not an easy question to answer. This is your holiday and we want you to enjoy it. Different trips require different fitness levels. But generally, if you can walk in the mountains all day and you have a strong mental attitude, then you'll be fine. We are used to looking after people.

Where are you and how do I get there?

We are in the Swiss Alps. Most courses have meet points specified, often Martigny or Aigle train station. This is easily reached by Geneva, or Zurich, which have international airports.

What is included in the price?

This is specified for each activity, common though is expert instruction from qualified guides.

Can you cater for specialty diets/ vegetarians/ vegans.

We will certainly do our best. However, we are not professional chefs, we make good, hearty, high energy meals to power us through the days. Do let us know when you book if you have specific dietary requirements.

Do I need to bring anything special?

You will be sent a kit list prior to your course. However, if you need specialist equipment it will be likely included in the course (e.g. Snow-shoes, Via Ferrata equipment). You are required to bring your own boots/ shoes it is certainly a good idea to walk these in and not turn up with new shoes - blisters ruin a holiday.

Most trips also require a sheet sleeping bag to sleep in, if you don't have one we can rent one to you or sell you one.
