These courses are action packed with learning new skills, whilst spending 5 full days in the mountains climbing quality ice with our guides.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to book any future trips with Adventure Base and honestly can’t point to a single thing I would fault. Fabio was a source of calm and support throughout what I found quite a daunting challenge. His extensive knowledge and experience ensured not only that we achieved a successful summit of both Gran Paradiso and Mont Blanc, but that we felt safe and assured throughout. True professionalism and class..”
“The summit was like a dream. It was so overwhelming I began to cry with joy for making it to this magical world at the top of Europe.”
“I had never stepped foot into a pair of crampons until I heard about Adventure Base. Thanks to your guide Miha I’ve summited Mont Blanc, climbed 5 mountains on Swiss 4000ers course…”
“I would definitely recommend Adventure Base to anyone considering mountaineering / a life experience and, in fact, have already done so.”
“I had a fantastic week. It was so well planned out, and my guide David was amazing. He was very good at relaxing me during difficult situations.”
“Thank you for an unforgettable weekend climbing the Gran Paradiso. I can’t praise or recommend your guide highly enough. Not only was he super safe he was also super bright and incredibly interesting.”
“Just back from climbing Mont Blanc with Adventure Base. What an incredible experience with great staff and guides. If you are thinking about doing it then stop thinking and get booking!”
“Thank you very much for all your help and organisation putting together our Mont Blanc climb last week Olly. It was great to finally conquer it. I am sure that we will be back in touch in future for another new adventure.”
“I thought the organisation was excellent and always very responsive to questions. Most of all I would complement Lars. He was just an outstanding guide, who provided the right amount of assistance, encouragement and guidance on the mountain. I would always come back to him and highly recommend him to anybody.”
“I just wanted to thank Olly and the guys for a great week. I really appreciated all your organisation and care and very much enjoyed the climbs under the guidance of Lars and Isra”
“It is difficult to capture the words to describe the whole experience, it was fantastic! What made it special was the time together with Miha and Federico. A thoroughly well organised trip from beginning to end.”
“The highlights tour of Mont Blanc was a very enjoyable experience and one I will not forget! I would recommend to anyone to use Adventure Base and I will definitely be thinking of another trek in 2018. Thank you to the team for organizing an amazing holiday and look forward to my next adventure!”

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like waterfalls… What is it about them that is so alluring, attractive, and peaceful? The sound of the running water is like a Xanax, my thinking slows, I remember to breathe, and the powerful cascade acts as a meditation. Nature has a way of putting things into perspective. Any problem I think I have gets smaller. I can just be for a little while surrounded by fresh air. I am not the first or the last to note the healing wisdom of being outside.
“Believe one who knows: you will find something greater in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.” Saint Bernard de Clairvaux
“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature. …I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.” Anne Frank

“It is well documented that being regularly immersed in a natural setting, like a park, field or forest, can lower blood pressure, anxiety and stress levels, and boost immunity. ‘Green time’ has also been shown to reduce feelings of anger and depression, while increasing energy, creativity and even generosity.” Read more: 30 x 30 Challenge.
