Spaces available — Intensive Mountaineering Skills Course (Summer 2025/26) 🏔️

If stepping onto glaciers, moving confidently through complex alpine terrain, and building the skills to climb independently is on your summer wish list — this is your course.

Our Intensive Mountaineering Skills Course is a full-immersion week in the Southern Alps, focused on real mountain travel and decision-making. You’ll spend seven days living and training in an alpine environment — based at our very own heated Caroline Hut — developing strong foundations in rope work, crampon technique, glacier travel, anchors, crevasse rescue and movement on steep snow and ice — all under the guidance of experienced IFMGA and NZMGA-qualified guides.

Limited spaces remaining:
✅ 13–19 Dec — 1 space left
🚫 27 Dec – 2 Jan — FULL
✅ 3–9 Jan — 3 spaces left
🚫 12–18 Jan — FULL
✅ 24–30 Jan — 4 spaces left
✅ 2–8 Feb — 3 spaces left

These courses fill quickly for good reason — small groups, big terrain, quality instruction and a genuine step forward in your mountaineering journey.
