Guiding and instruction is from our core of high-calibre IFMGA Mountain Guides, many of whom live in the Alps all year round.

Preparation for the Alps
To help you get the most out of your Alpine Course, or your own independent Alpine climbing, why not consider a Rock Climbing or Scrambling course in Snowdonia, prior to the summer season? These are based in Snowdonia and are directed by IFMGA guide, Dave Walsh. You are also welcome to attend our Alpine Orientation Day on 31 May 2008, which is available for all Jagged Globe Alpine Course participants.
Private Guiding
If you wish to be guided on other climbs or other specific peaks, or at other times of the year, we can make special arrangements for you. Please Contact Us to discuss your requirements.
