MOUNTAINEERING COURSE
On a mountaineering course, you will get to experience both glacier and rock climbing. Many of the techniques and much of the equipment are the same for both glacier and rock climbing. A mountaineering course demonstrates these connections and teaches participants what is required for a safe hike on glaciers and start climbing mountains.
The experience is the focus of a mountaineering course. You will get to try various activities related to ice and rock climbing, such as blue ice hiking and rescue, crossing snow-covered glaciers, and both rock and mountain climbing.
At the same time, there is little time for the practice and repetition needed to master both areas. If you want to learn glacier hiking and rock climbing so thoroughly that you can do it on your own, you should choose a glacier course and a climbing course.
